Shutdown looms over counties revenue row

Council of Governors chair Wycliffe Oparanya has said county governments will make good their threat to shut down counties unless the impasse at the Senate over shareable revenue formulae is broken.

Oparanya yesterday appealed to the Senate to resolve the revenue dispute before the closure of counties is effected even as Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi lamented that his staff have not been paid for two months.
