The Controller of Budget has accused governors of threatening her in order to avoid scrutiny of billions spent by the counties.
While appearing before a House team, Dr Margaret Nyakang’o – whose office is constitutionally mandated to oversee the expenditure of public funds – said county bosses were blocking her bid to access and review key financial records.
The claim comes amid adverse reports on government spending by the Controller of Budget and Auditor-General.
