For the first time in Kenya’s history, resources and power have been devolved to the grassroots. Kenyans are not necessarily required to travel to Nairobi to seek services that are now on their door steps.
One group of Kenyans that has not realised the fruits of devolution are teachers. For so many years teachers, through their unions, lobbied to have the Teachers Service Commission entrenched in the Constitution as an independent commission and not a semi-autonomous Government agency as it used to be.
