Counties are now expressing fears that the Council of Governors (CoG) secretariat may be abolished if a Bill before the Senate is passed without amendments. Governors are wary that the Senate may pass the Intergovernmental Relations (amendment) Bill that may cripple operations for CoG.
The Bill sponsored by Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen seeks to amend the Intergovernmental Relations Act of 2012 to among others create the Council of Deputy Governors.
