The Kenya School of Government (KSG) today hosted the official launch of the OAG Academy, an initiative expected to significantly elevate audit standards and reinforce the country’s governance framework. The event was presided over by the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service, Mr. Felix Koskei, underscoring the highest level of government commitment to transparency and professional excellence in public service.
The new Academy—established through a partnership between KSG and the Office of the Auditor-General (OAG)—will focus on building advanced audit competencies, integrating emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), and attracting regional trainees. The initiative is tailored to ensure Kenya’s audit systems evolve in step with global digital transformations.
The launch brought together key public sector leaders in a show of unified support. Among those present were Auditor-General FCPA Nancy Gathungu, National Treasury Principal Secretary Dr. Chris Kiptoo, EACC CEO Mr. Abdi Mohamud, Public Service Commission Vice Chairperson Mrs. Mary Kimonye, and National Police Service Commission Chair Dr. Amani Yuda Komora.
As Kenya accelerates digital reforms and public sector modernization, strengthening audit capability remains central to improving efficiency, accountability, and fiscal discipline. The establishment of the OAG Academy signals a shared national commitment to safeguarding the integrity of public financial management.
KSG Director-General Prof Nura Mohamed, who continues to champion results-based performance within the institution, reaffirmed KSG’s dedication to driving excellence in public service training and capacity building.
