We don't need 47 counties in Kenya. Nyeri, laikipia and Nyandarua should be one county, Bomet and Kericho should be another one county, EM, Nandi and UG should be one county. Kîrînyaga, EMbu, isiolo and Meru same. Kilifi, Mombasa, Taita and tana river. Murang'a and Kiambu merged
@WamboiKuria
Have you been to kilifi!???we need devolution to be felt at the grassroots level not to centralise it back, folding this counties to merge will alienate some subtribes even more
@AmanCharo
This is the 11 year of devolution. The rural side of Kilifi is a good example of where poverty imekita mizizi. I don't know what leaders you people elect. Your county should be disbanded and taken over by the national government.
@WamboiKuria
There is nothing wrong with the number of counties. The problem is the people you elected to run those counties! Kina Mandago, Awiti, Obado, Waititu, Mutua etc. Wananchi ndio wenye taabu
@WamboiKuria
Counties were created because of unfair distributioon of resources at national level...today we have devolution but national govt does not want to devovle more resources to counties...it devolves functions but retains resources...creating debate on creation of more counties
@WamboiKuria
Wambo, incidentally the Bomas draft had 2 levels of devolution with 14 regions. But it was scuttled by your favourite politicians who had presidential ambitions.
@SamShollei
I have studied our problems and devolution isn't one of them.
Bomas envisaged a 3-tier devolution but centrist politicians feared such a powerful regional governor.
It also proposed a parliamentary system but again politicians scuttled it.
