Governors maintain they won't relent on push for referendum

It is still not clear whether the Council of Governors is willing to merge its Pesa Mashinani initiative with the Opposition’s Okoa Kenya drive.

At a homecoming for Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma in Nyando constituency yesterday, members of the Opposition rallied the governors to have them form a single force to push the referendum agenda. However, the governors at the event, including former CoG Chairman Isaac Ruto (Bomet), Wycliffe Oparanya (Kakamega) and Ranguma, remained non-committal, but said they would go on with the push to have more money devolved to counties.
