Last year’s devolution conference held in Naivasha discussed a myriad of issues, key among them, the proposed increase in revenue allocation to counties.

The county bosses have been pushing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government to support their initiative to amend Article 203 of the Constitution to have the allocation capped at 45 per cent, up from the current 15 per cent.
