In its quest to reduce staff vacancy rate from 47% to 20% by 2021, the Central Internal Audit Unit has recruited 23 Internal Auditors at Grade I and K during the 2018-2019 financial year. The recruitment has reduced vacancy rate of the Internal Audit Service from 38% to 28%. This follows the recruitment of 28 Internal Auditors at Grade I and K during the 2017 – 2018 financial year which reduced the staff vacancy rate from 50% as at July 2017 to 30% as at June 2018. The newly recruited auditors will assist greatly in increasing audit coverage as well as ensuring that audits are completed on time.
