Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has been put in the spotlight over the expenditure of at least Sh140 billion allocated to Kilifi County during his 10-year tenure as governor.

Senate County Public Accounts Committee expressed concern that the county which is third behind Nairobi and Turkana in receiving the highest equitable share revenue from the National Treasury had high levels of deficiency which did not reflect the billions of shillings allocation over the years.
