The Budget and Appropriations Committee has supported proposals to establish an independent funding framework for the Office of the Auditor-General, stronger enforcement of audit recommendations and tighter controls on public revenue collection.

Chaired by Hon. Samuel Atandi, the Committee engaged Deputy Auditor-General for Corporate Services Isaac Ng’ang’a and senior officials from the OAG during scrutiny of the 2026/27 Budget Estimates, where concerns over audit delays, revenue leakages in counties, and widening audit backlogs dominated the session.

The Budget and Appropriations Committee has called for enhanced fiscal discipline and sharper prioritisation across government sectors, warning against fragmented funding, overlapping programmes, and inefficiencies in project implementation.
