Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya has said that he will not attend Senate summons since the institution has become an extortion racket.
He has claimed that senators only summoned governors to intimidate them so they give bribes.
“They wanted money and I said I can’t give them money. Ask yourself why not a single governor they summoned over corruption has been charged in court. I will never go back to the Senate even if Jesus comes back,” Oparanya said.
The county boss snubbed several Senate summonses to respond to audit queries for the four-and-a-half years he has been in office.
He claimed his main rival and outgoing Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale wanted to be governor so he can loot public funds.
“Khalwale thinks that a county is a place for stealing,” Oparanya said.
