Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga is under intense scrutiny from the Senate County Public Investment and Special Funds Committee regarding alleged financial mismanagement across four Nyeri County public hospitals. Revelations from an Auditor General's report highlighted significant irregularities, including unsupported revenue, inventory gaps, and procurement issues.

• The inquiry focuses on Nyeri County Referral Hospital, Mt. Kenya Sub-County Hospital, Mukurue-ini Sub-County Hospital, and Karatina Sub-County Hospital.
• Senators, including Nominated Senator George Mbugua and Senator for Vihiga County Godfrey Osotsi, expressed alarm over hospitals remitting funds to the County Revenue Fund (CRF) instead of implementing the Facility Improvement Financing (FIF) framework, which allows hospitals greater financial autonomy.
• Governor Kahiga defended the county's slow transition, citing the need for proper accounting structures and competent boards to ensure accountability and transparency before full implementation of FIF.
