Devolution in Kenya was touted as a solution to development inequalities in the country. The citizens believed in the constitution that the creation of the county governments would bring services closer to them, enhance access to leaders and ultimately achieve development at a faster rate. The performance of the counties has recently become a subject of discussion by every Kenyan. It has been over three years since, but tangible results are not evident with blame between National and County governments and institutions thereof increasing by the day. County governments have not established their foot in revenue collection, legislative agenda is yet to take root with the county assemblies having been grounded by the pull and push for higher pay by the members, minimal capacity of the MCAs to legislate and debate Bills and county residents developing apathy towards their county leaders.
