Opinion: Why the sky is the limit as counties mark 5th birthday

The conference will engage on how the county governments will align themselves with the National Government’s Big Four agenda.

As we count down to the 5th Devolution Conference in Kakamega, many Kenyans may not give the event much attention partially due to the other topical and competing news in the media. Yet, the conference is a key national milestone.
