The Council of Governors (CoG) has unanimously moved amendments to the County Governments Act on the appointment and tenure of County Chief Officers.

The governors tasked the Lynn Mengich-led Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) to work with them and help harmonise the salaries and benefits of all officers in the counties.
