Kenya has no option but to implement devolution, Nyachae

NAIROBI: The promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 provided an invaluable opportunity to translate the people’s aspirations, among them equality and inclusivity, into a legal framework. The power of self-governance by the people and their enhanced participation in decision-making are among the inalienable rights of the people of Kenya under this constitution. Primarily, the objective of decentralisation of governance in Kenya is to devolve power, resources, and decision making down to the most basic level. Ultimately, Kenyans expect progressive enhancement of their socio-economic development, access to efficient public service and governance by the rule of law.
