Raila’s speech at devolution conference in Meru causes panic among Statehouse operatives

Date:

  1. I am an unapologetic supporter of devolution. Devolution is my baby that I must nurture despite deformities until he matures.
  2.  Devolution has many powerful enemies led by the national government.
  3. Nepotism, favoritism, marginalization is seriously exercised in some Counties where members of other communities are mistreated.
  4. Counties are victims of the national government’s oppression because powerful people in the government are against devolution
  5. The national government budget must not remain bigger compared to the 47 counties combined
  6. Counties must be allowed to train and employ their own procurement officers
  7. County governments are threatened by national to sign MOUs with third parties especially when leasing equipments
  8. Government must stop leasing things that should be bought in cash. Things like scissors, pens and other medical equipments.
  9. Counties have not received the money that was allocated to fight El Nino last year. Someone ought to explain where the money went
  10. Government must let go of devolved functions and give Counties their freedom. Uhuru must embrace consultations with governors and not witch-hunt
  11. Why would you devolve services like Agriculture while parastatals are owned by the government? Everything must be devolved fully.
  12. Governors and senators must extend a hand of friendship for the sake of the people especially now that they might be running against each other come 2017.
  13. The national government must end its unhealthy wars with the governors and give them what is rightly theirs
  14. The rate of uncontrolled borrowing is worrying yet we don’t know who pockets the money. The government has borrowed a lot and when repayment starts, all taxes will be diverted there and not even Counties will get enough funding from the National government.
  15. Kenyans must be shown the projects funded by the Eurobond money. They must tell the people the truth because I know the truth.
