The concept of devolution is a key pillar of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. It gives powers of self-governance to the people and enhances their participation in the exercise of the powers of the state and in making decisions affecting them. It has further facilitated the decentralisation of state organs, their functions and services from the national to the local levels in order to ensure close contact and proximity between decision makers and consumers of the decisions.
