The Council of Governors (CoG) has accused the National Government of sabotaging activities in the counties by failing to transfer county functions, delays in funds remittance among other tactics.

Speaking in Vihiga yesterday, CoG Chairman Peter Munya singled out the use of Integrated Financial Management and Information System (IFMIS) as one of the strategies by the Jubilee Government to disrupt county functions.
