The County Pension Fund (CPF) now wants the National Treasury and the Controller of Budget to directly pay it Sh36.28 billion debt owed by county governments.

The fund's CPF chief executive officer Hosea Kili does not want the Treasury to give counties their allocations after which the devolved units will use a portion of it to pay the debt as has been the case.
