Same script but different actors on devolution

Prof Munene, who teaches at USIU observes that Jaramogi was executing the majimbo plot with full blessings from Kenyatta, “who only found in his VP an appropriate and ardent fixer to the majimbo threat”. Jaramogi himself admits that he believed – at that time – in a unitary system of government.

“It (majimbo) inevitably produced duplication of functions, erratic and unco-ordinated planning. There was an additional danger that money would be spent not on essential administration and services, but on politics and prestige,” Jaramogi argues in his book.
