Auditors report says President Uhuru Kenyatta's ‘big bang’ messed counties

KENYA: President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto fomented a service-delivery crisis by transferring all functions that were handled at the national level to the counties, even before the counties were ready.

The interim report of the inaugural Socio-Economic Audit of the Constitution done by a government task force, accuses the two leaders of ignoring the law on the gradual transfer of power, functions and resources to the counties and adopting a "big-bang" approach.
