A Senate watchdog committee has slapped Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya with a fine for failing to honour its summons in May.

The Senate County Public Accounts and Investment Committee yesterday, in an unprecedented move, ordered the governor to pay a fine of Sh200,000 for failing to heed an invite to respond to questions raised by Auditor General on expenditure during the 2014/2015 Financial Year.
