The longest vacancies have been at the Interior Department, where the position has sat empty nearly six years, and the State Department, which, as several pointed out, went for five years with an acting IG. That represented the entire duration of Hillary Clinton’s tenure. One witness suggested that State’s acting IG might have turned a blind eye to Clinton’s use of a private email server.

By Charles S. Clark June 3, 2015
Currently, said Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department IG who chairs the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, IG slots are vacant at seven major agencies: Interior, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Veterans Affairs Department, the General Services Administration, the Export-Import Bank and the CIA. All but the CIA’s have been empty a year or more, he said, and the Obama administration has submitted nominations for only three.
