Governors’ defiance in referendum push jolts William Ruto's grip of Rift Valley

The open defiance to President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto by Jubilee Alliance governors in Rift Valley on the referendum question is raising concerns about the latter’s political grip of the region.

Some governors from the region have stood their ground demanding that the government disburses more money to counties if they are to abandon the Pesa Mashinani referendum push.
