The Council of Governors (CoG) Chairman Wycliffe Oparanya said the Division of Revenue Bill 2019 stalemate has pushed county governments to the edge, making it difficult to pay workers on time. 
He said all operations in all counties will be stopped on September 16, 2019.
"Beyond this date, if the matter is not resolved the county governments will have no option but to shut down," Mr Oparanya said.
Last week, Attorney-General Kihara Kariuki advised the Senate to seek out the National Assembly and record a settlement that will see Treasury release funds to counties.
