The upcoming devolution conference in Eldoret is a perfect opportunity for Kenya to reflect on the real intent of devolution and what it has achieved.

The agitation towards devolved governments was always about decentralisation of state power and resources and for real and responsive authorities closer to the people. Devolved governments were meant to put people at the centre of decision-making through public participation forums and representation through the county assembly.
