Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has criticized county governors for neglecting to implement Senate resolutions aimed at curbing mismanagement and embezzlement of funds within counties. He emphasized that the Senate's role is to ensure accountability in the use of public resources, not to foster conflict with governors.

• Kingi noted that several Senate committee reports with recommendations for streamlining county operations are being ignored by governors, some for as long as two to three years, leading to continued financial irregularities.
• The Speaker specifically cited recommendations from the County Public Accounts Committee and the County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee for disciplinary action against officers implicated in financial mismanagement.
• He referenced a 2021 report where the Senate Public Accounts Committee recommended action against accounting officers in several counties for gross financial mismanagement, with little follow-through.
• Kingi, speaking during a meeting with Busia County Governor Paul Otuoma, warned against tolerating incompetence and called on governors to act promptly on Senate recommendations, drawing from his own experience as a former governor.
