Ms Gathungu, who was sworn in on Friday in a ceremony presided over by Chief Justice David Maraga, said that her priority was to clear audit backlogs.
The office of the AG fell vacant in August 2019 when Edward Ouko retired after an 8-year stint.
Ms Gathungu promised that she will build on the legacy left by Edward Ouko using four pillars namely: Indipendence, credibility, relevance and accountability.
She will serve an eight-year term in office.
