Kiambu Senator Karungo Wa Thang'wa has suggested that governors operating commercial bank accounts should face impeachment.
Speaking on Friday after a Senate Committee on Devolution meeting, Karungo argued that despite the Constitution clearly stating that county governments should not operate commercial bank accounts unless approved by the National Treasury, several governors continue to do so.
After meeting with the Controller of Budget, the Council of Governors, and the Auditor-General, the committee agreed that measures should be put in place to stop lawlessness in counties. ''Should this be an impeachable offense?
Regulation 82(1)(b) of the Public Finance Management (County Governments) Regulations prohibits counties from operating commercial bank accounts.
