The Controller of Budget (CoB) Margaret Nyakango has cited budgetary constraints and gaps in law that prevent her from auditing government projects as a hindrance to implementation of her office's mandate.

Dr Nyakang'o who appeared before the National Assembly Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), also decried the "discriminatory" salary structure prescribed to her office and a further delay in implementation of the CoB recommendations by accounting officers often presented hurdles in efficient execution of her office's functions.
