Governors to Boycott Senate as Gachagua Accuses Police of Political Interference - February 2026

Kenyan Governors have resolved to boycott summons from the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), citing intimidation and humiliation during oversight sessions. In response, Senate Public Accounts Committee Chairperson Moses Kajwang condemned the boycott as an attempt by governors to evade scrutiny over alleged mismanagement of public funds. Separately, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja of political interference. Gachagua claims police in Nakuru County blocked his entourage on Sunday, February 8, 2026, and also publicly accused Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika’s husband of misusing police to block his political meetings.
