Nairobi; Kenya: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has given a thumbs-up to Kenya's progress in implementing economic reforms but warned that the country remains highly vulnerable to deteriorating security conditions, weather-related shocks and difficulties in implementing devolution.
The report indicates that although the Jubilee Government started the process of devolution at a fast pace, introducing a reporting framework that allows for monitoring progress and challenges, however, coupled with a dispute over implementation of the devolved system of Government has sparked calls for a referendum by governors who are demanding more resources be channelled to the grass-roots.
