Controller Reasserts Fiscal Authority

Internal memorandums obtained by the Navajo Times reveal that Controller Sean McCabe moved to restore fiscal control and reinforce spending compliance within the Navajo Nation government before his firing.

The memos, issued on October 23, detail enforcement measures, a budget transfer ruling against the Office of the President and Vice President, and the reversal of actions tied to a court dispute over control of the Office of the Controller.

According to McCabe, the measures were taken after he regained operational authority through a court order, following what he described as an

"unauthorized and irregular intervention"
into his office’s management.
