The three claim since the inception of devolution, the administration has systematically implemented a scheme hatched to ensure the failure of this new system of governance which Kenyans chose when they voted to pass the new Constitution 2010.

"We, the governors elected under the banner of the Orange Democratic Movement representing Mombasa, Nairobi and Kisumu counties have come together out of a deep concern for the welfare of the residents of these great city counties who elected us in 2013," a statement signed by the three reads in part.

"We have come together to oppose the agenda of economic marginalisation and sabotage being run by the Jubilee administration against our people."

Key among issues they raised is laxity by the government to increase funding to counties from the current 15 percent of the national budget to 45 percent as proposed by the opposition.

Besides, they accuse the government of killing the fishing industry by allowing the importation of fish from China as well as the underfunding of devolved sectors.

"We the governors of the three biggest cities in Kenya; Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu, thus hereby demand for the immediate disbursement of the Sh69 billion owed to Nairobi City County to facilitate the equipping of hospitals, building of low-cost housing and supply of water to our citizens."

"We also demand for immediate formulation of a sharing policy and disbursement of port revenue to Mombasa County and to cessation of any actions leading to the transfer of port operations away from the city of Mombasa."

"We equally demand for a moratorium on the importation of cheap fish from China to Kenya and an investment plan to restore fish produce and markets for Lake Victoria failure to which, we shall resort to an irreversible legal determination of the same and mobilise our people for sit-ins until Jubilee begins to respect devolution."
