The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has disapproved of the establishment of a presidential task force on forensic audit of Kenya\u2019s public debt. The society says the move by President William Ruto goes against the law.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaking cognizance of the provisions of Article 229 of the constitution and the interpretation of the said provisions by the court, it is our considered view that the establishment of the taskforce is unconstitutional. The mandate to audit public debt rests with the office of the Auditor-General,\u201d said LSK Chief Executive Florence Muturi<\/p>\n
As a consequence, Muturi says the Council of the Law Society of Kenya has resolved that neither their president nor any of its members shall take up appointments or participate in the said taskforce.<\/p>\n
