Tana River Senator Danson Mungatana has urged county governments to embrace civil society and human rights groups, saying they play a crucial role in accountability and governance.

Speaking during a panel at the ninth Devolution Conference in Homa Bay County on Thursday, Mungatana said many county leaders view civil society as a threat rather than a partner.
