The Senate Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources has resolved to issue a final summon to Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka following his continued failure to appear before the Committee to provide updates on projects funded under the FLLoCA Programme.

 

The Committee, chaired by Senator Mohamed Faki (Mombasa) warned that any further failure to honour the summon will result in the issuance of a warrant of arrest, in accordance with parliamentary powers and privileges.
