Kenya: Governors have set the stage for a legal showdown following President Uhuru Kenyatta's assent to a controversial law that puts County billions in the hands of senators.
They also resolved to conduct their own national referendum dubbed 'Peace Mashinani' to push for an increase in county allocation from the current 15 per cent stipulated in law, to 45 per cent of the preceding budget.
