Counties stare at bleak future with selfish leaders

Counties were purposely created in the 2010 brokered post-election violence Constitution to address causes of inequality, economic imbalances, marginalisation and historical injustices in Kenya. Ten years later, the dream of a prosperous indivisible nation is still elusive.

Seven years after the creation of devolved units, counties still don’t have robust infrastructure and social amenities due to financial constraints and lack of expertise to undertake such projects.
