In today’s Senate session, Senator Fatuma Dullo has brought forward a request for a statement from the Committee on Finance and Budget regarding the utilization of emergency relief funds in Isiolo County.
This move comes amidst growing tensions between Senator Dullo and Isiolo County Governor Abdi Guyo, who has criticized the Senate for what he perceives as a politically motivated inquiry. Governor Guyo’s allegations raise questions about the impartiality of oversight processes in the county.
Additionally, following the recent visit by Senate Public Accounts Committee, chaired by Moses Kajwang’, the residents of Isiolo County conducted a series of press conferences condemning Senator Dullo, terming her perceived oversight efforts as a smear campaign to hoodwink voters into electing her for the gubernatorial office come 2027.
These sentiments highlight the divisive nature of the situation and echos the need for impartial and objective oversight mechanisms to address issues affecting the county’s development.
As the Senate considers Senator Dullo’s request, it is crucial for all stakeholders to prioritize the interests of Isiolo residents. Effective management of emergency relief funds is essential for assisting vulnerable communities, particularly during crises.
