Information Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru is on a collision path with senators after he twice snubbed invitations to appear before a committee investigating the controversial switch-off of four TV stations during the ‘swearing-in’ of Raila Odinga.

The decision by Mr Mucheru to give senators a wide berth on Thursday, and appear before a National Assembly committee on Friday, is being viewed as a show of contempt to the House.
