Governors are pushing for a total shutdown of counties to force the National Treasury to release funds to counties as a biting cash crunch threatens to bring vital operations to a halt.

Council of Governors (CoG) Finance, Planning, and Economy Committee Chairperson Fernandes Barasa says the National Treasury owes counties Sh104 billion for a period of three months.
