Senators want Isiolo Governor Abdi Guyo arrested and prosecuted for failing to honour two invitations and two summons to appear before the Senate Standing Committee on Health.
The Senators led by committee chairperson Jackson Mandago have requested the Inspector General of police Japhet Koome and Director of Public Prosecution Renson Ingonga to arrest and prosecute Guyo for contempt.
The Senators also wanted to move a motion in the house to stop funds from going to Isiolo and other Counties whose Governors have refused to appear before them to account for resources allocated to them.
“We are left with no other choice other than to ask the IG and the DPP to arrest and prosecute the Governor. Having given him the opportunity to respond to the issues that has taken more than six months, and refused to appear. He has exhibited the highest contempt to the Senate and this committee,” said Mandago.
The committee reached the verdict after Guyo failed to appear on several occasions to answer to questions on the status of Health and the morgue in Isiolo County Referral Hospital.
