Develop legal mechanism for sending CDF billions to serve the counties

In simple language, the court ruling on the Constituency Development Fund recently said the 2013 Act which established this institution as we know it today is unconstitutional. Try as we may as law makers, we cannot get around this ruling: we have to abide by it.

The court did not, however, say that the CDF has been useless; nor that the good work the Fund has done should be discarded. On the contrary, the judges in their ruling appreciated this good work and went further to state that in the spirit of devolution the work should be carried out constitutionally. It therefore behooves us, as lawmakers, to establish a legal and constitutional framework how this should be done. Here is my proposal.
