MPs and Treasury have let down devolution

The devolved a system is perhaps the boldest and most revolutionary statement by  Kenyans concerning their determination to address and redress actual or perceived past injustices. Prior to this, many Kenyans saw a number of policies and practices by past governments as tending to favour certain areas and communities.

They also saw the policies as marginalising and or excluding sections of the people and areas from accessing power and resources. They viewed development as skewed in favour of these favoured areas. This caused resentment, hopelessness and discontentment. Vestiges of these feelings still linger, causing suspicion and distrust.
