Governors have raised concerns over being excluded from the development projects by the national government, asking President William Ruto to be included in the development projects of the counties.
Speaking at the Kenya Devolution Support Programme II (KDSP) in Naivasha on Tuesday, May 27, Council of Governors Vice Chairperson Mutahi Kahiga stated the importance of county-level implementation for development programmes.
Kahiga stated that the counties have structures, and with the help of the CoG, they can collaborate to handle the projects. He, however, asked the government to have funding segments for CoG, which will help in the implementation of specific programmes like the subsidised fertiliser scheme.

"Therefore, I make a plea as the Vice Chair and on behalf of the CoG and the chair that for every programme let us have funding segments for the CoG to help implement the specific programme," Kahiga said.
