Kenyan Governors have suspended their appearances before the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), accusing unnamed members of the oversight body of extortion and using sittings for political witch hunts. The decision was announced during the ongoing Governors’ Retreat in Kilifi.

• The Council of Governors (CoG) chairperson Ahmed Abdullahi stated that governors would resume appearances only after a structured engagement with the Senate leadership to address their grievances.
• Governors are concerned about "continuous and escalating extortion, political witch hunt, harassment, intimidation, and humiliation" by certain senators.
• Tharaka Nithi Governor Muthomi Njuki clarified that their issue is with only "four senators" whom he described as extortionists.
• Recent instances of scrutiny include Bungoma County's Sh3.6 million spent on a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in 2019, and Vihiga Governor Wilber Ottichilo facing questions over Sh5 million for a housewarming party.
