Appreciating and strengthening Devolved Governance; Working together to Realize the Objectives of Devolution.
Your Excellency the President;
Council of Governors;
One of the amazing achievements of democracy is how its fruits trickle down to supporters and opponents alike.
Those who voted for or against the constitution have equal chance to benefit from its fruits. It is the story of Devolution in Kenya.
We may debate how the counties are being governed. But there can be no doubt that voters want their counties to be supported and strengthened, not wound up or undermined.
Devolution has many challenges. Corruption cartels have commandeered many county governments. Unrepentant believers in the old order are fighting devolved units in the false hope that they can reverse the clock.
Some elected leaders have confused their oversight role with execution, pitting county assemblies against county executives.
Some of the County governments are too tiny to benefit from economies of scale. Nearly all county governments are serving populations grounded in decades of poverty. Many sectors with direct impact on citizens have not been fully devolved. Although Health is devolved, it has serious challenges with regard to funding and personnel.
Agriculture and infrastructure are not fully devolved, but people expect the County governments to deliver on them. In these partially devolved areas, County and National Government Development plans are creating conflicting priorities, confusion and unclear visions.
Some counties are bogged down by tribal and clan tension.
Nearly all county governments are sagging under the weight of expectations. Voters expected that services that had stalled for fifty years in infrastructure, healthcare, tourism, agriculture and employment would take off immediately under county governments.
By and large however, Devolution is changing our country in ways few imagined. There have been loud concerns about corruption. The activities of some members of the County Assemblies and County Executives have been seen as pushing greed and impunity to new levels, sparking off protests.
But there is a positive side to the protests. They indicate that the people are taking control of their destiny. In the days of the old order, nobody questioned the PC, the DC or the DO. Too few knew what had been allocated for their development. Development was what the DC or PC said. Devolution has come with a new boss; the people. Development is what the people say it should be.
The National Government has handed over more powers to politicians and institutions elsewhere in Migori, Muranga, Mombasa, Turkana, Kericho, Bomet and elsewhere. What we do with those powers are absolutely up to us.
Results are trickling everywhere.
In Turkana, they have cut distance to the hospital from 55 kilometres to 35 kilometres in two years. Turkana increased education bursaries from Kshs 150 million to Kshs 300 million in the current financial year. At no one time in the last 50 years did the Government of Kenya allocate such amount of money to the education of Turkana children.
Rural Health Services that long suffered inadequate financing; dilapidated physical facilities; unreliable supply of drugs; absence of adequate medical equipment; and shortage of qualified medical staff have changed.
Nearly every village has access ambulance services from their county government.
In Kisii, each of the nine sub county hospitals has a state-of-the-art ambulance operated by qualified paramedics. This has boosted referral of critical cases by over 340 per cent. Referral of pregnant mothers has increased by 300 per cent. This story is replicated allover the country.Kisii Town is now a 24 hour town after the County Government installed 300 solar lights.
In Arid Marsabit County where water is life literally, the County Government has drilled 26 boreholes in the last two years against less than 15 boreholes drilled by national Government in the last 50 years. A slaughter house is coming up for the first time since independence.
Mombasa County’s School Milk Program has seen over 27,000 children from all the public Nursery and lower primary from class1-3 get school milk 5 days a week. The focus here is to improve nutrition which if not addressed in childhood leads to stunting and low prospects in later life. It is also meant to enhance the transition rate from home to ECD and from ECD to primary school.
The planned water desalination plant by county government will solve a long standing problem that should have been addressed decades ago.
The Muranga Integrated Development Day, incorporating the Muranga Investments Cooperative and Muranga Child Can are pace setters.
Despite the problems the leadership is going through, the amount of talent and capacity the county has put together indicate something worth looking forward to.
We are witnessing regional growth and enterprise outside of Nairobi and the traditional “high potential” areas. Yes, people are still heading to Nairobi for jobs. But millions are instead heading to the county governments.
Kenya’s economy has withstood the shocks coming from insecurity partly because of the investments going on in counties and the promise of these counties. For the first time in our history, we are looking at the possibility of an economy firing on all cylinders.
The point that was missed by the political elite for too long; that we need to rebalance our economy away from its overreliance on the National Government is slowly beginning to sink.
We are beginning to realize that we have other strengths too in other places and that there is actually no low potential part of Kenya.
Despite problems, Devolution has put Kenya on right course, in line with trends in the world; strong economies, built on semi-autonomous and interdependent regions. It is the story of Germany, the US, India, UK.It is a story all Kenyans have bought. If you doubt, just try abolishing a county.[ad name="HTML-2"]

Breaking: Citizen TV cracks the whip on corrupt journalist..
At least 10 top staff at Citizen TV have been suspended over corruption allegations in which they kill stories. The allegations involve Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko who is said to have bribed them to kill stories that were negative on him during the Kajiado Central by elections.Sonko is said to have bribed the journalists including Swaleh Mdoe, Mwanahamisi Hamadi, Kimeli Arap Kimeli, Yusuf Ali and Shisia Wasilwa to " kill" a story in which he had been attacked and chased by a group of voters in the area over bribery claims.
Sonko denied the allegations and said they are part of efforts by city politicians to taint his image.
"These politicians are afraid of me and now they are instigating the suspension of my friends at the station. We shall defend them," he said.
The journalists were suspended for ten days by managing director Faridah Karonei in letters to each of them after a probe.
In the ten days, further probe will be conducted before they come to face the charges. Meanwhile, for the next 10 days, Kanze Dena and Lulu Hassan, who mostly appear on TV on weekends, will be in charge of the Citizen Nipashe news.

CORRUPTION FINALLY LEGALIZED IN KENYA: A DISASTER IN WAITING
BY; Faith Agape.
Optimistically examining the trend that the current society is taking as a stake to promote future development is rather horrific, perversity has stained the fabric of our society leading to a state of development imbalance across the sectors of the economy. Shockingly, according to the community’s attitude on corruption it seems that this monster has been accepted and welcomed. Consequently, this has led to the onset of a derogating and retrogressive culture.
Tracking the progress of activities from national employment “provision” to land rows to the flagship of development projects ,it reflects the terrible impact of corruption .The recent recruitment of police officers which is alleged to have been a misconduct clearly indicates that administrative activities are yet to be questioned and reformed .This deteriorates the role of the security and defense wing in the country .On the other hand, the police force is pacesetting in bribery claiming that their economic status is at stake due to poor pay ,delayed promotions ,plus poor accommodation facilities. Perhaps, this may trigger the government to table the matter and chart the way forward condemning the mounting wave of corruption in the security sector. Additionally, it is important for the government to deem the military sector an investive share of the economy as this will yield quality service. When security being instrumental in flourishing a country, is jeopardized the rest of a country’s endeavors are inevitably destabilized.
Land wrangles have recently been the topic of the day and persistently dividing the country on irrational political grounds .The land CS ,Charity Ngilu in liaison with N.L.C chairman Mr. Swazuri are almost chocked by the land disputes that are evidently becoming a hard-nut to crack. The legal ownership of Karen land which is transparently depicting a one-to-many relationship which eventually does not declare rightful ownership is needed bringing discredit to the offices concerned. Though this subsequently piled pressure and simultaneously enlighten the ministry of lands to re-strategize on land policies, the verdict on clearing the Karen land grabbing is barely predictable. This is time consuming and derailing development undertakings in the country. Interestingly, corruption is whirling around this stuff.
Notwithstanding, it is frustrating to learn that some key officials are abusing political mandate to dishonorably acquire land from the common “mwananchi”. Imposing threats to the common people by employing heavily armed security personnel is very misappropriate and humiliating from our leadership. This is an open book for the poor governance and selfishness in leadership. Truthfully, our governance needs refined reconstitution and prefabrication otherwise we are set to tarnish our legacies. The lives of great men and women have illustrated how they left the world better place to live, citing Nelson Mandela, Prof. Wangari, Mother Theresa and many others. Objectively doing mischief with resources for personal gain is a menace and one should be ashamed of because it is countering communal empowerment and achievement. Numerous development engagements have been hampered due to malicious interventions of the so-called flag-bearers .The teachers’ pay tussle has been hampered from regime to regime due to misunderstanding that stemmed from malpractices in the utilization of funds. Isn’t this heartbreaking? Why should teachers-springs of knowledge-who have been voicing out their grievances since 1997, not attended to in a definite manner? For how long will such outcries overwhelmingly suffocating the atmosphere at least come to rest?
Instant action should be taken to avert dire consequences which presumably impede our focus towards actualizing the advancing vision of 2030. In connection to this, the procurement of std1 laptops is a question which I wonder who is to answer yet money had long been allocated this transaction. Corruption is almost becoming a spirit which is invading everyone, from the newborns to the aged. The recent mischievous event by a renowned religious leader has demonstrated how wicked the society has revolutionized. Our familiar holy grounds or places of worship are turning into points of unprofitable contractual agreements and transactions. Why should laws on giving be enforced in discriminatory? Must you plant a seed for your heap of problems to be cleared? This somewhat demeans the value of religious beliefs. We should courageously unlearn the perception of acknowledging that corruption as a necessary evil, since the consequences are depriving. Whatever we do should not only be productive to us but also to others around. This will exponentially increase the zeal to work diligently for the good of the society, essentially in accomplishing communal objectives. A nation should put concerted effort in collaboration with the government to embrace a corruption free trend by vibrantly campaigning and setting s SAY-NO-TO-CORRUPTION Day in a bid to appreciate the benefits ascribed to uploading integrity in our daily dealings. Furthermore, if the society can inculcate the virtue of generosity as well as exercise voluntary service so as to promote and spread dignity across the borders. The Swiss being among the well developed countries across the globe are posing challenge to the rest through the distinct virtue of selflessness and voluntary action which seems to have been injected into the nation. This has fruitfully resulted into well established and stable country upholding and walking in integrity. Failure to achieve is simply dismissing a trail! Otherwise corruption will immortally threaten the future of a nation.
will we ever achieve the vision 2030? Its still a mirage.

#mydressmychoice: utter nonsense!!
#mydressmychoice: utter nonsense.
We cannot, we will not, we will never ever come out in large numbers, we will never support a demonstration seeking a leeway to legalize nudity, a demonstration in support to indecency, a demonstration seeking to hoodwink men and boys into social immorality. I watched in pain as women and ladies of substance took to the streets, to every pavement and corners of this our small city, seeking authenticity of indecency, a roadmap towards societal moral decadence. It was a walk, a useless painful walk, a walk in the wild seeking and searching for elusive support, drawing unnecessary attention from the lazy, the old and the easily gullible in a society full of elite and goal oriented citizenry.
Miniskirts have never been, are not and will never be a modern, technological or even a digital version of beauty, so stop this creepy nonsense ladies, its time you grew up, open your eyes and see! When you walk down the lane, the streets and to the business pavements in that micro outfit, how does it feel like? What does it portray? You do not only create a feeling of lust among men and gentlemen, but also lure them to sexual immorality and disrupt attention.
It costs nothing to dress decently, it harbors no pain to look smart in that nice outfit. Whenever cases of rape are read out in the courts, reasons range far and wide, from lust to revealing outfits that drew sexual feelings, save for the rest.
In light to the stripping incidences at Kayole and Embassava, a clear message has been sent out, a worthy testimony in the public domain, that it is time we did away with indecent, revealing clothes and just like our neighbors’, Uganda, ban wearing of the miniskirts. I do not seek or even purport to support the ongoing stripping spree in Kenya, a journey started in high tempo, in fact I “condemn it” in the strongest terms possible.
Your dress ceases to be your choice when it disrupts others from their work, when it draws majority into temptation and in this context, coital warfare. This decay in the morals of a society is not only bad for the future posterity but also an impediment towards the fight on HIV/AIDS. As Kenya grapples with this menace, let it go the Uganda way, declare a total ban on miniskirts and public indecent behavior or rather have strict “Nudity and decency laws” just like in the States.
As I pen my final words, it’s my thought that all those who took part in the “silly” campaigns on #mydressmychoice are the remaining few immoral outwits that we have remaining with us in the society, it’s high time we took them to Mathare for a checkup! Hey, look at United Kingdom, the fashion city, do they do miniskirts? The answer is an outright NO, yet those ladies are beautiful, that is, if beauty was a measure of outward appearance of which I strongly disagree.
Ladies, beauty is a measure of your inward capability, character and personality. They say, when it walks like a duck, waddles like a duck, behaves like a duck, then surely it is. So when you want to make no difference between “the business associates” in K- Street and yourselves, then you cease being whom you are and become “a high tech business associate”. When we stop politicizing everything in Kenya, we shall brew decency and high moral standards. Let’s come out and rebuke, as the police do what they are good at, investigate, arrest and prosecute the strippers as we say a big NO to immorality and indecent dressing and kiss goodbye to miniskirts and this entire bullshit of #mydressmychoice. If you want to practice nudity, if you want to practice stripping then kindly do not use our roads, highways and pavements as the rehearsal grounds, you risk embarrassment!!!

a link to the nudity and public decency laws in America http://www.hg.org/article.asp?id=31193....it states..(a) A person commits the crime of indecent exposure if, with intent to arouse or gratify sexual desire of himself or of any person other than his spouse, he exposes his genitals under circumstances in which he knows his conduct is likely to cause affront or alarm in any public place or on the private premises of another or so near thereto as to be seen from such private premises....www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&ved=0CD0QFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hg.org%2Farticle.asp%3Fid%3D31193&ei=xyJrVIvzJ5XkaoyigZAL&usg=AFQjCNHRJTXjeT7pGr1ATdckb-dJoQ6nqg&bvm=bv.79908130,d.d2s

If you want to practice nudity, if you want to practice stripping then kindly do not use our roads, highways and pavements as the rehearsal grounds, you risk embarrassment!!!

#mydressmychoice: utter nonsense!!
#mydressmychoice: utter nonsense.
We cannot, we will not, we will never ever come out in large numbers, we will never support a demonstration seeking a leeway to legalize nudity, a demonstration in support to indecency, a demonstration seeking to hoodwink men and boys into social immorality. I watched in pain as women and ladies of substance took to the streets, to every pavement and corners of this our small city, seeking authenticity of indecency, a roadmap towards societal moral decadence. It was a walk, a useless painful walk, a walk in the wild seeking and searching for elusive support, drawing unnecessary attention from the lazy, the old and the easily gullible in a society full of elite and goal oriented citizenry.
Miniskirts have never been, are not and will never be a modern, technological or even a digital version of beauty, so stop this creepy nonsense ladies, its time you grew up, open your eyes and see! When you walk down the lane, the streets and to the business pavements in that micro outfit, how does it feel like? What does it portray? You do not only create a feeling of lust among men and gentlemen, but also lure them to sexual immorality and disrupt attention.
It costs nothing to dress decently, it harbors no pain to look smart in that nice outfit. Whenever cases of rape are read out in the courts, reasons range far and wide, from lust to revealing outfits that drew sexual feelings, save for the rest.
In light to the stripping incidences at Kayole and Embassava, a clear message has been sent out, a worthy testimony in the public domain, that it is time we did away with indecent, revealing clothes and just like our neighbors’, Uganda, ban wearing of the miniskirts. I do not seek or even purport to support the ongoing stripping spree in Kenya, a journey started in high tempo, in fact I “condemn it” in the strongest terms possible.
Your dress ceases to be your choice when it disrupts others from their work, when it draws majority into temptation and in this context, coital warfare. This decay in the morals of a society is not only bad for the future posterity but also an impediment towards the fight on HIV/AIDS. As Kenya grapples with this menace, let it go the Uganda way, declare a total ban on miniskirts and public indecent behavior or rather have strict “Nudity and decency laws” just like in the States.
As I pen my final words, it’s my thought that all those who took part in the “silly” campaigns on #mydressmychoice are the remaining few immoral outwits that we have remaining with us in the society, it’s high time we took them to Mathare for a checkup! Hey, look at United Kingdom, the fashion city, do they do miniskirts? The answer is an outright NO, yet those ladies are beautiful, that is, if beauty was a measure of outward appearance of which I strongly disagree.
Ladies, beauty is a measure of your inward capability, character and personality. They say, when it walks like a duck, waddles like a duck, behaves like a duck, then surely it is. So when you want to make no difference between “the business associates” in K- Street and yourselves, then you cease being whom you are and become “a high tech business associate”. When we stop politicizing everything in Kenya, we shall brew decency and high moral standards. Let’s come out and rebuke, as the police do what they are good at, investigate, arrest and prosecute the strippers as we say a big NO to immorality and indecent dressing and kiss goodbye to miniskirts and this entire bullshit of #mydressmychoice.
