A tense moment was witnessed during a session of the Senate County Public Accounts Committee after Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang strongly addressed Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti while she appeared before the committee.
The meeting took place in Nairobi where county leaders had gathered to respond to questions on the use of public funds.
Governors are regularly summoned by the Senate to explain how money allocated to counties has been spent. These sessions are part of the Senate’s oversight role in ensuring accountability in county governments.
During the proceedings, Senator Kajwang spoke firmly as he addressed the Machakos governor. The lawmaker insisted that the committee’s work was strictly about accountability and not about political alliances or regional interests.
Kajwang made it clear that the committee would treat all governors equally regardless of their political background.
He emphasized that appearing before the Senate was a constitutional responsibility and that leaders must be ready to answer questions about how public resources are managed.
Governor Ndeti was appearing before the committee to respond to concerns raised in audit reports regarding the financial operations of Machakos County.
The Senate Public Accounts Committee reviews these reports to determine whether county funds have been used properly and according to the law.
