The Governor had
said the Senate was "not heaven", and that he was not scared of facing Senators who want him to respond to graft allegations levelled against his administration.
He was to appear before the Standing Committee on Finance
to respond to a petition filed by 12 MCAs for him to be investigated for corruption.
The ward representatives want the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, DPP and DCI to conduct a joint forensic audit of the county’s finances.
They also want the EACC to carry out a lifestyle check on all executives and investigate their bank accounts and property.
