Controller of Budget Accuses Treasury of Creating a Fund that Dodges Her Oversight

In a constitutional petition challenging the legality of the National Infrastructure Fund, the Controller of Budget accused her own government of designing it in a way that would escape her oversight.•In her affidavit filed before the High Court, Margaret Nyakang'o said the law establishing the Fund was built to cut her out of its finances, reducing to a rubber stamp the approval her office is constitutionally required to give before public money can be withdrawn from a fund of its kind.
