A fresh dispute has emerged between the Council of Governors (CoG) and the Office of the Auditor-General, with county heads strongly opposing a planned audit targeting bursary allocations, scholarships, and Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) services in six counties.
In a statement issued on Monday evening, the governors opposed the audit, terming it unconstitutional and opaque.
The county bosses also faulted the Auditor-General for allegedly failing to adhere to legal timelines.
The governors argued that the audit was initiated without consulting county governments; hence, the entire process was flawed. "The Council of Governors has taken note of recent communication from the Office of the Auditor General on a planned performance audit covering bursaries, scholarships, and ECDE services," a statement from the CoG read.
