GOVERNOR MUTULA KILONZO JNR TODAY JOINED OTHER MEMBERS OF COUNCIL OF GOVERNORS IN A CONSULTATIVE MEETING WITH DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS AT SAFARI PARK HOTEL.

The COG Resource Mobilisation Committee took stock of the last one year successes, challenges and way forward in their engagement with the partners.

Governor Mutula called on the development partners to ensure equitable distribution of support to counties.
