We can charge them for breach of integrity issues," said commission deputy chief executive officer Michael Mubea. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has warned that governors who fail to heed Senate summons to account for public funds will face the law. The commission appealed to senators to submit reports for such county bosses to enable it to commence investigations. Mr Mubea said that as State officers, the governors are bound by chapter six of the Constitution on leadership and integrity and declining to respond to parliamentary summons is a breach of the law. Prof Nyong’o said summons issued to governors and county assemblies are ignored because the Judiciary and other government agencies responsible for enforcement frustrate the process.
