Kenneth Lusaka has called for stronger devolution, saying counties have improved governance but still require reforms to boost development and accountability.
Nyandarua County is known for mountains, milk, potatoes, the Aberdares National Park and landmarks like Mau Mau caves, wreckage of World War II bombers and homes of WW II veterans.
The bicameral legislature design that largely made the Senate the ‘custodian’ of devolution has ironically stood in the way of entrenching a robust devolved system.
Households in marginalised counties saw large and broad-based increases in spending compared with households in the 33 other counties.
