Governors Threaten to Boycott Senate Committees Over Extortion Claims - February 2026

The Council of Governors (CoG) has suspended appearances before the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), accusing unnamed members of extortion and using sittings for political witch hunts. The CoG directed governors to suspend appearances before CPAC and limit them before the County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee. Four Senators from the PAC, led by Chair Moses Kajwang, were specifically accused of intimidation and harassment. In response, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi rejected the extortion claims and defended the Senate's constitutional oversight role. CPAC Chairperson Moses Kajwang also fired back at the boycott threat, stating governors cannot dictate the terms of their accountability for public funds.
