Isiolo Governor Abdi Hassan Guyo risks being arrested. He did not before the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on Tuesday, October 1.

Isiolo Governor Abdi Hassan Guyo is at risk of arrest. He did not attend before the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for the third time. The committee is led by West Pokot Senator Julius Murgor. They have decided to take this drastic step due to the governor’s repeated absences.

They view these absences as a blatant disregard for the Senate’s authority. The committee has proposed a Ksh500,000 fine and an arrest to compel his attendance, highlighting the seriousness of the situation.

Governor Guyo’s absence from earlier meetings on August 27 and September 16, 2024, led to the Senate summoning him again. They scheduled the new meeting for October 1, 2024. His failure to comply has angered committee members. These members are now considering withholding funds from the county.

They will do this until the governor demonstrates accountability. Senator Mohammed Faki expressed frustration over Guyo’s perceived contempt for the Senate. He advocated for an arrest order to guarantee his presence.

The push for an arrest order was initiated by Isiolo Senator Fatuma Dullo. She has raised concerns about governance issues within the county. She has called for transparency about human resource practices, including payroll records and staff lists.

The governor has earlier claimed that the Senate’s actions against him are politically motivated. He asserted that he would not attend the hearings but would give written responses instead.

Despite the mounting pressure, Governor Guyo remains defiant, stating that he will not honor the Senate’s summons. His refusal to engage with the committee raises questions about his leadership and accountability.

Lawmakers continue to seek answers about the management of county resources. They also want to understand his governance practices. The situation remains tense as the Senate deliberates on the next steps to enforce compliance.
