Governors must accept change, work

NAIROBI: Devolution continues to encounter challenges in every step of the way. The teething hiccups are not likely to be out of sight soon if the never ending melee between the County and National Government is anything to go by. For the last two years, the new structures of governance, and in particular the devolution, have been treated like the proverbial new visitor in Jerusalem. The State officials and the citizens doubtlessly alike are sunk into abyss of deep running consternation.

Many Kenyans appear not to have appreciated the full reach of the system of devolution. Perhaps, this can be explained from the point of view of what a constitutional order really entails. Real constitutional order obtains when a nation’s tapestry of thought composes of a fabric of positive attitude and genuine veneration for change. Unluckily, this is missing in Kenya.
