Midrift Human Rights Network has sharply criticized Kenyan County Assemblies for their weak oversight of governors and county officials, highlighting a consistent failure in their primary responsibilities, which has rendered the Senate's oversight role ineffective.

• The organization, led by executive director Joseph Omondi, identified significant oversight weaknesses in budgetary processes, public investments, and financial planning.
• Omondi stressed that despite being empowered to approve policies, vet appointees, control budgets, and initiate impeachments, MCAs have exercised minimal oversight according to audit reports and rarely scrutinize Auditor General's reports on misappropriation.
• Midrift urged citizens to actively participate in holding leadership accountable through informed civic scrutiny, ensuring assembly committees perform their duties to achieve devolution goals of democratic governance and equitable development.
