MCAs must be morally upright and competent

It has been four years now since Kenya ushered in the devolved form of government. Thus, other than the national government, were have county governments, complete with elected leaders and an assembly. Counties and their assemblies also hire their own staff independent of the national government and Parliament.

But in all these, the regional assemblies stand out as the most important institutions in the success of devolution. While there have been major successes, devolution has also recorded its fair share of failures. However, critical lessons have been learned and Kenyans are facing the future full of optimism.
