NAIROBI: For the better part of this year, governors held the opinion that the national government was deliberately sabotaging devolution. This feeling is echoed by two commissioners of the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution.
Peter Wanyande and Philemon Mwaisaka noted that apart from the national government, Members of Parliament have been instrumental in slowing down the devolution process given their penchant for wanting to control devolved funds, leaving governors with little option in determining developmental projects for their counties.
