Parliament Probes Trans Nzoia Finances and CBK Currency Deal, Demands Action on CSs - September 2025
Kenyan senators are demanding stronger penalties, including fines and censures, for Cabinet Secretaries who fail to appear before the House after Lands CS Alice Wahome snubbed a summons. Separately, the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) has directed the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to investigate alleged financial irregularities in Trans Nzoia County's revenue collection system. This follows Governor George Natembeya's admission of significant underperformance in revenue generation. Additionally, Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has raised concerns over a "secretive" Ksh14.5 billion currency printing deal awarded by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), citing irregularities in the tendering process based on the Auditor-General's report.
