As the new Municipal Auditor General opens her office the BC Green party is worried about political interference.
Green Party Leader Jane Sterk says unlike BC's Auditor General Basia Ruta is not technically independent.
"Municipal Auditor General is reporting to a minister which means that, that position of Auditor General is very much more subject to political interference and again this should be an appointment that is under the Auditor General itself."
Sterk says the ability of Municipal Auditor General will be hampered by having to answer to Community Minister Bill Bennett.
She says it is especially concerning after the controversy over John Doyle's reappointment as BC's Auditor General.
