The June 28, 2019 State of Devolution address made clear how devolution continues to transform Kenya. What has happened here is one of the greatest governance transformations anywhere in the world. As international partners, we have been proud to support it, and will continue to do so.
Standing among the fallen at Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln spoke of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Devolution in Kenya will succeed if it is truly for the people, embedding local democracy not just every five years at election time, but every day.
