Governors have vowed to defy future summonses by the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), despite the risk of police targeting those who have continued to skip scheduled appearances.

The Council of Governors (CoG) protested Monday's attempt to arrest Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, accusing the Senate of personalising what it described as an institutional matter and a collective decision to boycott the committee.
