The Head of State has already forwarded her name to the National Assembly for vetting.

If approved by the National Assembly, Gathungu will serve for an 8-year nonrenewable term.

Her nomination comes a month after the Public Service Commission (PSC) published 10 names of candidates shortlisted for the position of Auditor General.

The post has been vacant since August 2019 following Edward Ouko’s exit.
