Kisumu Senator Fred Outa has accused Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o of telling the Senate that he had travelled to Morocco yet he hadn't. The governor was scheduled to appear before the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee of the Senate to respond to queries by the Auditor General but sent regrets. Outa said Nyong'o did not travel and was spotted with two senior Nyanza leaders at his Nairobi home. Outa said the governor has developed a pattern of snubbing Senate summons hence "denying Kisumu people a chance to know how he has used the county’s billions." Outa said it was not the first time Nyong’o had failed to appear before the committee chaired by Migori Senator Ochilo Ayako.
