Several key elements of devolved functions accounting for Sh272.2 billion are still being run by the national government ten years later, the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRCT) has said.

IGRCT delegation led by the Chairperson Kithinji Kiragu who appeared before the Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations said that considerable resources needed to fund devolved functions still remain in the hands of the national government.
