The High Court has suspended a deal between the Controller of Budget (COB) and the Council of Governors (CoG) allowing county governments to continue issuing bursaries to institutions outside their scope.

Justice Samwel Mohochi issued temporary orders restraining COB Margaret Nyakang’o from withdrawing or retracting a circular she issued on January 14, 2025.
