Senators row with governors over Transitional Authority's extended term

Senators have opened a new battlefront with governors after they published a bill to extend the Transitional Authority's (TA) term.

The Constitution of Kenya Amendment Bill 2016 seeks changes to Section 15 of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution to give the TA a further three years in office. The governors find the idea unpalatable on grounds that TA must fold up at the end of the transition period on March 4 as set out in the law.
