A collage of CoG chair Ahmed Abdullahi and CPAC chairperson Moses Kajwang./HANDOUTA fresh standoff has erupted between county governors and senators over accountability for billions of shillings disbursed to devolved units. The governors are threatening to boycott Senate oversight sessions, accusing lawmakers of intimidation and political witch-hunts. He said the Senate oversight process had become punitive. “To this effect, the council has resolved that governors will not appear before the CPAC committee until these concerns are addressed,” Abdullahi said. The standoff now threatens to deepen tensions between the two arms of government, raising concerns over the future of county oversight and accountability.
