The High Court has dismissed a case filed by the Council of Governors (CoG) that sought to compel the National Treasury to release county funds by the 15th of every month.

• The CoG argued that delays in fund disbursement were disrupting county operations and service delivery.
• The Attorney General successfully argued that the CoG had not exhausted alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.
• The court cited a previous Supreme Court advisory opinion stating that courts cannot prescribe specific operational deadlines for fund transfers.
