The tension escalated when Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina joined the fray, accusing Governor Guyo of incompetence and mismanagement of public resources.

In response, Governor Guyo fired back, accusing Senator Ole Kina of hypocrisy and attempting to deflect attention from his own shortcomings.

The heated exchange continued for several minutes, with both parties trading insults and accusations.

The dramatic confrontation highlighted the deep-seated tensions between the Senate Public Accounts Committee and some county governors, underscoring the ongoing challenges facing governance and accountability in Kenya’s devolved system.

“I was elected in Nairobi for three terms as an MCA, you can’t be elected for that long if you are incompetent,” Guyo said.

The sentiments appeared to irk Senator Ole Kina who claimed that the Governor was digressing and trying to intimidate them.

“Stop digressing, address the issues that have been raised, who cares where you had been elected? Some of us do serious oversight in this committee, don’t tell us about your election as an MCA,” Ole Kina barked while banging the table.

Guyo did not take the sentiments lysing down as he shouted back and reduced the committee to a shouting match between them.
“You can’t intimidate me Ledama, you can’t. I was elected by the people not to come here to be intimidated,” he retorted.

 

The committee chair was forced to end the session prematurely as the shouting match between the two leaders continued with other Senators also joining in.
The Governor was appearing before the committee to explain how the county spent money in various funds including those for emergency, women, youth, persons living with disability, education, as well as bursaries
