National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has been summoned to appear before the Senate Labour Committee on August 20, failing which he will face a fine of Sh500,000.

Yesterday, Mbadi failed to attend a scheduled session with the Senate Labour Committee, chaired by West Pokot Senator Julius Murgor, which was set to deliberate on the delayed pension payments for retirees under the Kenya Railways Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme.
