The Council of Governors (CoG) has formally accused four senators of harassing and extorting governors during appearances before the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC). This escalation marks a significant standoff between county and national leadership over oversight practices.

• Four senators were specifically named: Moses Kajwang, Johnes Mwaruma, Edwin Sifuna, and Samson Cherargei.
• The accusation, signed by CoG Chairperson Ahmed Abdullahi, cited "persistent reports and experiences of extortion, political witch-hunt, intimidation, and harassment."
• This confrontation follows the 2022 Supreme Court ruling affirming the Senate’s power to summon governors.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a Kisumu County Revenue Officer, who was arraigned at the Kisumu Anti-Corruption Court on Tuesday, February 10, over bribery allegations.

• The officer is accused of soliciting Ksh18,500 and receiving Ksh10,000 as part payment from a businessman for a fabricated charge.
• The accused, in charge of the Kisumu Bus park, pleaded not guilty and was released on Ksh20,000 cash bail or a Ksh50,000 bond.
• The EACC continues its crackdown, having recently arraigned six suspects, including four former Homa Bay County officials, over an irregular tender award valued at Ksh348,927,840.

The Environment and Land Court has issued preservation orders against Mandera Governor Mohamed Adan Khalif, barring him from dealing with his Parklands property in Nairobi. This action follows a request from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) due to an ongoing probe.

• The court order prohibits the governor and his agents from entering, developing, selling, or otherwise dealing with the property (LR.No 209/12670) for the next six months.
• The EACC sought these orders on January 26, with Justice T. Murigi setting the inter partes hearing for March 5, 2026.
• The directive aligns with Section 56 (3) of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act.
