Devolution Experts: Implement devolution policy to fix what is ailing County governments in Kenya

The predominant trend established by this assessment is that whereas, substantial progress has been made in the implementation of the devolved system in Kenya through establishment of the County Governments and initial transfers of functions and resources, there are systemic countervailing factors which threaten and are already undermining successful realization of the great promise of developmental devolved governance system for the people of Kenya.

These threats are manifest in the dualistic, double-speak and diametrically opposed rhetorical public statements by the political elite on their commitment to full implementation of the devolved system on the one hand and the actual policy, executive administrative and political choices being made on the other.
