Governors are demanding details of the controversial Sh38 bilion medical scheme by the Government, even as they agreed to sign the Memorandum of Understand (MoU) on the deal.

The county chiefs were quick to explain their position, stating that by agreeing to sign the document, which they argue is not legal, they were yielding ground to the deal.
