Governors from Western skipped the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC) of the Senate grilling sessions for the second day on Tuesday.
The committee, led by Migori Senator Ochillo Ayacko, are in Kakamega town to interrogate governors Wycliffe Oparanya, Patrick Khaemba (Trans Nzoia), Wycliffe Wangamati (Bungoma), Sospeter Ojaamong’ (Busia) and Wilber Ottichilo (Vihiga).
They are expected to answer questions over audit queries of their accounts emanating from the Auditor General’s reports for financial years 2018/19 and 2019/2020.
But Oparanya and Khaemba, who were expected to appear before the committee on Monday and yesterday, gave the sittings a wide berth forcing the senators to cancel the exercise at the eleventh hour.
