The recent strike by officers in the medical field that caused untold suffering to Kenyans, including death, may have momentarily died down, but the crisis is far from over. This is not just a medical or industrial problem but also a constitutional one that requires more players to address. One of the principal objects of devolution under Article 174 of the Constitution of Kenya is to facilitate decentralisation of state organs, their functions and services from the capital and to provide proximate and easily available services.
