A new Mediation Committee will meet Thursday morning in last-ditch efforts to salvage the operations of the 47 county governments from grinding to a halt following the failure by the Senate and the National Assembly to agree on the amount of money to be allocated to devolved units in the Division of Revenue Bill 2017.

Speaker Justin Muturi named four members of the National Assembly to sit with four other senators appointed by the Senate to try to develop an agreeable version of the stalled Bill, which is critical to the vertical sharing of revenue between national and county governments.
