Governors in fight for county pension cash

The Council of Governors (CoG) has rejected a proposed law that seeks to wrest control of pension schemes in the devolved units terming it as unconstitutional.

The Council told a committee of the Senate during the public hearing that the drafters of the County Governments Retirement Scheme Bill, 2018 had given county governments a peripheral role in the management of the pension scheme, while allowing the national government to take control.
