Under the chairmanship of Homabay Senator Moses Kajwang, the Senate Committee on County Public Accounts (CPAC) convened with the County Assembly of Kericho today. The agenda of the meeting was to scrutinise the Auditor General's report, detailing the Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year of 2019/2020.

During the discussions, a series of significant resolutions were agreed upon.

The County Public Accounts Committee, led by Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang’, has today directed the County Assembly of Laikipia to follow the procurement process to the letter when awarding tenders to suppliers.  

This comes after the Auditor General informed the Committee that the County Assembly of Laikipia made two payments amounting to Kshs1.4 million to two hotels for conference facilities for Members of the County Assembly and staff, despite them not being among the prequalified suppliers of the assembly during the Financial Year under review. 

Under the stewardship of Homabay Senator Moses Kajwang, the Senate Committee on County Public Accounts (CPAC) held a meeting with the County Assembly of Kakamega to closely examine the Auditor General's report on the 2019/2020 financial statements for the County Assembly of Kakamega.

In an attempt to tackle the issues raised by the Office of the Auditor General in various counties, the Senate Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds, under the stewardship of Vihiga County Senator Godfrey Osotsi, held a meeting with the Governors of Makueni, Homa Bay, and Marsabit. The discussions, revolved around the affairs of Water and Sanitation companies, included the review of the Auditor General's Reports on the Financial Statements for the years 2018/19, 2019/20, and 2020/21.

Seven former members of the National Committee on Citizen Participation in Security have said there is no way followers of Pastor Paul Mackenzie’s Goodnews International Church would have been killed in Shakahola Forest without the knowledge of the state.

The group, which was known as Nyumba Kumi Committee, told the Senate Adhoc Committee on the Proliferation of Religious Organisations, which is investigating the Shakahola deaths, that information on the activities of the church was available but it was either ignored or there was deliberate inaction from the security agencies.
