Devolution is Kenya's best gift since 1963

The 2010 Constitution ushered in immense and far-reaching changes in our governance landscape. It brought government closer to the people, with county governments sitting at the centre of dispersing political power and economic resources at the grassroots.

Before its implementation, governance was centralised, rigid, with political bias and often-times, misplaced priorities. Delays in project implementation was the order of the day. Development was therefore not people-centred and in most cases, people received projects that they really did not need.
