Devolution can fast track Vision 2030

In 2008, Kenya launched Vision 2030, a socio-economic and political blue print to transform the country into a "newly industrialised middle income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens in a clean and secure environment by 2030". This blue print is based on three "pillars": Economic, Social, and Political.

Later, in 2010, Kenyans promulgated a Constitution that saw the departure from a central government to two levels of governments; one national government and 47 devolved units known as county governments.
