Nairobi:Senate to hold a meeting over Iria

 An extra ordinary meeting has been called at the Council of Governors this morning to deliberate in the manner at which senate has ordered for arrest of its vice chairman Mwangi wa Iria after he defied  to appear before it last month.

The virtual meeting slated  for 10 am has been called a few hours after Clerk at Senate Mr J.M Nyengenye wrote to Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai seeking for arrest of the Murang’a Governor for  defying summons.

 Council Chairman Wycliff Oparanya outlined agenda for the  meeting as conduct of senate public accounts committee in relation to a letter addressed to Iria.

Earlier, Clerk at Senate Mr Nyengenye wrote to the police boss informing him that Iria failed to honour the invitation of the committee seeking for his arrest and produce him before the committee on September 10 at 10am.

 “Conduct of the Senate in view of the Third Generation Allocation Formulae will also be discussed”, read part of the letter.

The issue of revenue allocation comes when the counties are financially starved following differences in the Senate 12 man Adoc committee on the disbursement of the finances to the counties.

The committee is yet to come up with a solution that will end the stalement on the formulae, that would be used on the allocation  between the land mass or the population.
