Kitui Senator Enock Wambua and former Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu clashed yesterday over the management of the Kitui County Textile Centre (KICOTEC) during a Senate Committee session.

Ngilu was summoned to respond to allegations of financial mismanagement during her tenure as governor.

Ngilu, who appeared before the Senate County Public Investment and Special Funds Committee after previously missing two invitations, accused Wambua of politicising the KICOTEC project.
