Senators manhandle Samburu governor over summons, spark standoff

There was drama today in parliament as senators, mainly from the Senate committee on Public Accounts (CPAC), attacked Samburu governor Lati Lelelit, attempting to enforce a citizen’s arrest on him for failing to appear before the watchdog committee to answer audit queries, forcing the governor to flee. The senators have threatened to withhold funding from counties that snub their audit sittings until the governors appear. As Emmanuel also reports, the governor has threatened to sue the senators who roughed him up, saying he was assaulted.
