The Council of Governors has criticised Controller of Budget (COB) Margaret Nyakang'o following her decision to restrict the issuance of bursaries by counties.
The Head of the Council of Governors Ahmed Abdullahi in a letter to Nyakang'o, on Friday, January 17, dismissed allegations that counties had taken up the role of the national government.
According to the governors, the law did not explicitly assign the governing or distribution of bursaries to either of the two levels of government.
In their argument, the county heads also explained that the issuance of bursaries by counties was in line with Article 43 of the Constitution which stated that every person has the right to education.
