NAIROBI: An ambitious bill to make sure the county and national governments find money to ensure every Kenyan gets a decent house, three meals a day, clean water and affordable healthcare has been published.

The bill sponsored by Senator Hassan Omar (Mombasa) seeks to give Devolution Cabinet Secretary and all governors the legal powers to actualise the promise of the five-year-old Constitution for a better life.
