Governors yesterday failed to agree on a proposal in a document seeking to make changes to the constitution that will require them to seek running mates of the opposite gender.

County bosses were contributing to debate on the matter at Enashipai Spa in Naivasha where they are holed up for a two-day retreat to discuss the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report.
