The Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) has rejected a request by Garissa Governor Nadhif Jama to postpone his appearance before the Committee, instead issuing summons warning that failure to comply will attract sanctions provided for under the law.

Governor Jama was scheduled to appear before the Committee on Thursday, January 29, 2026, to respond to queries raised by the Auditor-General in the audit reports of the Garissa County Executive for the 2024/25 financial year.

The Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) has raised concern over Trans Nzoia County’s failure to pay former staff gratuity amounting to millions of shillings, and warned the Controller of Budget against authorising further withdrawals from the County Revenue Fund until the matter is addressed.

The Committee issued the warning on Thursday while grilling Governor George Natembeya over the Auditor-General’s report on the county’s financial statements for the 2024/25 financial year.
