Devolution has been on the receiving end rom political and social commentators and academics on its sustainability. Some have even called for the reduction of the number of counties from 47 to 10. The overriding issue is sustainability; in terms of cost and resources.
If we focus our attention on economic development, we pretty much focus on policies and projects initiated by counties that are meant to spur economic development and job creation. There is however a propensity for county administrations to initiate economic projects premised to be used as leverage and bargaining tools during elections.
