Migori Governor Okoth Obado was a no show at the Senate's Public Accounts Committee sitting at the Kisii County Assembly on Thursday. The governor was expected to arrive for grilling at 10 in the morning but by 11.30 am, Obado had not shown up at the sitting. The committee chair described it as a grave offence for a governor to fail to honour a summon by a parliamentary committee. Obado is required to answer to a string of audit queries touching on unreconciled bank balances of Sh1.3 billion from his administration. I ask the committee chair to use him as example so that we don't have such similar incidents ahead," he said.
