Kitui governor Charity Ngilu has received backing over her push to ban charcoal trade in her county.
This is after governors agreed to stop the destruction of forests in the country.
In a statement, council of governors chairman Josphat Nanok said they are concerned with increased logging in the country's water catchment areas which might have negative consequences in the future.
Nanok said that CoG will work with the environment ministry to create a policy for enforcement of logging regulations.
"This will take into cognisance of the worrying logging trends that continue to devastate our forests," Nanok said.
The Turkana county boss added that governors will not allow further destruction of water catchments.
The remarks came amid a confrontation between Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and his counterpart Charity Ngilu over the ban on charcoal trade in Kitui.
