Police are searching for Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja in order toa arrest him following recommendations by the Senate committee.
The Governor is being sought by authorities on allegations of contempt of parliament.
The search for the county boss was launched late on Monday, March 30.
According to reports, the authorities have camped outside City Hall in the Nairobi Central Business District for a better part of Monday evening, although efforts to trace the county boss have proved futile.
Reports indicate that Sakaja may have caught wind of his impending arrest, and left his station before the arrival of police.
This comes after the Senate ordered the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to present Sakaja before the Senate.
The Senate stated that if IG Kanja fails to produce Sakaja within the stipulated timeline, the committee will resolve that Sakaja is unfit to hold public office.
In the ruling, the committee also fined Sakaja KSh 500,000 for failing to honour summons from the Senate Committee.
Sakaja was initially expected to appear before the committee to respond to the audit report but his absence led the committee, on March 25, to resolve that they would adopt the Auditor General’s report as presented, with Nairobi flagged for irregularities and misappropriation of public resources
