I wish to inform you that I am in receipt of a letter dated 17th June, 2016 from the Chairman of the Council of Governors, the hon. Peter Munya, in which he raises concerns about the alleged harassment of Governors appearing before the Senate and its committees. The Chairman states that Governors appearing before the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee of the Senate have complained about the manner in which they have been treated, which he states has been in total disregard of the Senate Standing Orders and the Constitution. The Chairman cites the alleged mistreatment of Gov. (Dr.) Evans Kidero in his appearance before the Committee on 15th March, 2016. In this regard, the Chairman attaches a letter dated 17th June, 2016 from Gov. (Dr.) Kidero addressed to the Speaker of the Senate titled “Complaint against Undignified Treatment during the Senate Public Accounts and Investment Committee Presentation by Nairobi City County.” The Chairman goes ahead to state that based on the alleged experience of Gov. (Dr.) Kidero in his appearance before the Committee and the experience of other governors, it was apparent that the safety and security of governors appearing before the Senate Committee was not guaranteed. He also goes further to state that there is a clear conflict of interest and I quote:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
