Acordo secreto encerra tensão entre governadores e senadores

Um acordo secreto entre governadores e senadores encerrou semanas de tensão que ameaçavam as operações dos condados. Os governadores concordaram em comparecer às reuniões do comitê do Senado, enquanto os senadores se comprometeram a tratar das denúncias de corrupção. Negociações intensas no Senado levaram ao acordo.

O acordo secreto foi alcançado após negociações intensas no Senado lideradas pelo líder da maioria Aaron Cheruiyot e uma delegação do Conselho de Governadores chefiada por Ahmed Abdullahi.

Os governadores concordaram em comparecer perante o Comitê de Gastos do Condado para auditorias do uso de fundos, desistiram das exigências para remover quatro senadores e interromperam os ataques públicos. Os senadores prometeram lidar com as alegações de fraude e má gestão de acordo com as regras internas, manter a disciplina e considerar o aumento das alocações de fundos para os condados.

Um participante afirmou: “Havia uma grande tensão. Os governadores queriam que o respeito fosse garantido nas reuniões, enquanto os senadores buscavam cooperação total. No final, ambos os lados concordaram em reduzir o tom”.

No entanto, divisões surgiram durante o debate sobre o Projeto de Lei de Alocação de Receitas. O senador de Migori, Eddy Oketch, opôs-se à proposta, dizendo que o Senado deveria resolver a disputa completamente antes. O presidente Amason Kingi suspendeu a sessão em meio ao caos, e uma fonte observou que as divergências persistem.
