Governors have threatened to go to court to stop the proposed budget cuts as announced by President Uhuru Kenyatta last September.

Council of Governors (CoG) chair Wycliffe Oparanya on Tuesday told a meeting of the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC), which is chaired by Deputy President William Ruto, that if it could not resolve the issue, they would seek the President’s intervention.
