Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has been summoned by the Senate to shed more light on a Sh72 billion debt owed to the county by the national government.

The Senate Committee on Budget and Finance Monday summoned Kidero to appear before the committee on Thursday.

This is after the Senate received a petition from the county seeking help in recovering the billions that had accrued over time.

"The committee is in receipt of your petition concerning debts owed to the Nairobi city-county by the national government and its agencies... This is to invite you to come and present the issues concerning the settlement of debt and any other relevant issues to the committee," read the letter.
