KAKAMEGA: Many proponents of devolution argue rightly that it is a multi-dimensional approach, which defines governance along political and corporate lines. The political goodwill gives confidence to elected leaders that indeed they have the mandate of the people to be in office, while the corporate governance aspect ensures that the counties are managed with integrity, fairness, and transparency.
Devolution is therefore not an angular or linear transfer of power and purpose from the national government to county governments as has been touted by many.
