Kwale Governor Fatuma Achani was questioned by the Senate County Public Accounts Committee regarding the spiraling cost of the official governor's residence. The project's expenses have far exceeded the Ksh.45 million cap set by the Senate.

• The governor attributed the increased costs to prolonged court cases, which led to higher legal fees and accrued interests.
• Governor Fatuma Achani is the key person involved in this financial controversy.
• In a related development, Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga also faced scrutiny from the Senate committee over the lack of a title deed for the land where his official residence is being constructed.
