The Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations convened in Kitale Town earlier today to mediate a high-stakes confrontation between Governor George Natembeya and the former County Public Service Board. 

This intervention follows a period of administrative turmoil sparked by the Governor’s February 16 directive to shutter the Board’s offices and transfer its staff, a move that critics argue bypassed established legal protections for independent county organs.
