Kisii Governor James Ongwae (pictured) and five other senior county government officials have been ordered to appear before High Court Judge John Mutungi for contempt of court.

In a ruling made last week, Justice Mutungi said the members cited for contempt are executive members for Finance, Lands, Health Services and Environment.
