MERU COUNTY: The Government should reconsider the amount of money going to counties, otherwise governors will push for a referendum over revenue allocation, Council of Governors Secretary Peter Munya has said.

Speaking during the Meru County Education Day at Kaaga Girls High School, Munya said: “Meru county was only allocated Sh5 billion from the National Government. Of this, they use 70 per cent to pay salaries. We are left with Sh1.8 billion to transform all the sectors.”
