NAIROBI: Governors have strongly opposed the proposed Health law, claiming it contains provisions that undermine devolution.

The Council of Governors (CoG) Tuesday poked holes in various clauses of Health Bill, 2015, which they alleged encroached on functions of the county governments and attempted to transfer them to the national government.
