[File, Standard] The Council of Governors (CoG) has given the Treasury a one-week ultimatum to release more than Sh85 billion, warning that if their demands are not met then they will take drastic action. The council has given the national government up to April 15 to release Sh78 billion owed to the 47 counties for January, February and March. Further, the council demanded Sh7.2 billion to 12 counties that have a deficit meant for December 2020. Speaking during the address on counties preparedness in the fight against the Covid-19 Pandemic, CoG Health committee chairperson Anyang’ Nyong’o explained how the delay has slowed down their operations in the response to the pandemic.
