The action follows claims that the governor has failed to appear before the Senate Public Accounts Committee, which is investigating audit queries related to the county’s finances.

Nairobi County Police Commander Issa Mohamud confirmed that officers are searching for the governor to ensure compliance with the law.

“We are following orders issued by the Inspector General of Police and will take the necessary steps,” he said.

The Senate committee, chaired by Moses Kajwang, had previously summoned the governor to respond to questions on audit findings.

After the governor reportedly did not appear or submit the required information, the committee instructed Inspector General Douglas Kanja to take enforcement action, including possible arrest.

Attempts to reach the governor’s office for comment were ongoing as the matter developed, highlighting the importance of accountability in county governance.
