He warned that failure to comply would prompt the committee to direct Douglas Kanja to arrest and produce him before the Senate.
The summons follows months of non-attendance by the governor, who had previously been expected to respond to concerns raised by lawmakers regarding the evictions.
The committee is seeking clarification on the circumstances surrounding the exercise, which has drawn public attention and raised questions about adherence to the law.
According to the notice, Sakaja is required to provide a detailed account of the events leading to the evictions, including the legal basis for the actions taken and the role of the county government.
Senators are also expected to seek explanations on whether due process was followed and if affected residents were given adequate notice.
The committee emphasised that attendance is mandatory and forms part of its oversight role as provided for under the law.
It noted that continued failure to appear undermines accountability and the ability of the Senate to discharge its constitutional mandate.
The Old Ngara evictions have been a subject of concern, with reports indicating that residents were displaced under contested circumstances.
Lawmakers have raised issues about the legality of the operation and the welfare of those affected, prompting the committee to launch inquiries into the matter.
Sakaja’s prolonged absence from the hearings has now escalated the matter, with senators signalling a tougher stance to compel his attendance.
The warning of possible arrest marks a significant step, underscoring the seriousness with which the committee is treating the issue.
Under parliamentary procedures, committees have the authority to summon individuals to appear before them and can seek enforcement through relevant state agencies if directives are not followed.
The involvement of the Inspector General of Police in enforcing the summons reflects the legal weight of such directives.
