Busia Governor Paul Otuoma was grilled by the Senate County Public Accounts and Special Funds Committee over allegations of widespread misuse of county funds, as detailed in the Auditor General’s FY 2023/2024 Report.

• Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah highlighted findings, including Ksh54 million in cooperative loans issued without proper security or recovery, and a 90 per cent underperformance of the Climate Change Fund.
• The Public Officers Revolving Fund, totaling Ksh199 million, was criticized for operating without approved budgets and underperforming by 25 per cent.
• Senator Omtatah, despite his oversight role, was not informed of the meeting, stating his office was "shockingly" excluded.
• He urged the committee to recommend investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Committee and demand accountability for these "blatant violation[s] of the Public Finance Management Act."

The National Integrity Alliance is demanding the immediate arrest of Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya after the High Court in Nairobi quashed a decision to withdraw a Ksh57 million graft case against him.

• A Nairobi High Court ruled on Tuesday, September 16, 2025 that the Director of Public Prosecutions' (DPP) decision to withdraw the case was unconstitutional and irregular.
• Justice Benjamin Musyoki stated that the DPP's decision violated Constitutional principles of transparency and accountability and that DPP Renson Ingonga overreached the mandate of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
• The court ruled that the decision was "shrouded in mystery" and worked "against the public interest," thereby violating Article 157 of the Constitution.
