The Auditor General, Junias Kandjeke, has questioned why ministers as appointing authorities of boards are not held accountable, as boards are, when they fail to fully execute their mandate in regard to auditing compliance.

In an interview with Business Today, Kandjeke pointed out interference from appointing authorities as another impediment to clean audits at various public institutions.

The National Assembly has unanimously approved the reappointment of Junias Kandjeke for another 5-year term.

The re-appointment of Kandjeke was recommended by President Hage Geingob and motivated by Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila in the National Assembly today (Tue).

Kandjeke's first term as AG came into being in 2003.

MPs heaped praise on Kandjeke for the work he did over the 20 years he served in the position.
