Almost all public and private conversations today include something about devolution and the new constitutional dispensation. And rightly so considering the electorate is more politically aware and mature since citizens were active participants in the crafting of the devolved units since the initial sittings at the historic Bomas of Kenya.
As a consequence, expectations are high that following swearing-in of leaders to various legislative assemblies and inauguration of Kenya’s fourth Head of State, the taxpayer is looking to reap the immediate, medium-term and long-term dividends of this expanded and bloated system.
