The Senate County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee has raised concerns over the failure by most counties to fully operationalise municipalities within their jurisdiction.

The Committee Chairperson Senator Godfrey Osotsi said that the counties have got no option but to comply with the urban areas and Cities act and if they have any challenges the Council of Governors should engage Senators to have amendments done on areas of concern.
