Governors have stuck to their guns, demanding Sh425 billion from the National Treasury in the equitable share of revenue and raising the stakes in the stalemate ahead of a scheduled meeting with President William Ruto.
This is the second time the Council of Governors (CoG) is rejecting a Sh380 billion allocation to counties by the Treasury for the 2023/2024 financial year.
