In a statement issued on Tuesday, April 22, the governor accused the national government of undermining and disregarding county-level governance.
“The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERA) need not exist if the national government is prepared to fully implement devolution,” Nyong’o said.
On Friday, March 7, President Ruto and Raila signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that would allow the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to work together.
