Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has called for dialogue between senators and governors to resolve disputes over summons for audit queries. He emphasized that the Senate has a constitutional mandate to summon governors for accountability and that publicly sparring through the media only exacerbates animosity.

• Kingi urged both parties to "sit down and iron out differences" instead of "talking at each other" via the media, highlighting that he personally had no issue attending the Senate during his ten years as a governor.
• The call for dialogue comes amidst allegations by Council of Governors chairman Ahmed Abdullahi that some senators are extorting governors over audit queries, which senators deny.
• Speaker Kingi made these remarks at the burial of Uasin Gishu Senator Jackson Mandago's mother, Esther Lelei, where he also delved into Rift Valley politics, advocating for maximum support for President William Ruto.
