Transition Authority Has Slept on the Job.

So, what is really problematic with devolution take off? I am sure it is not the constitution of kenya 2010. It is not Isaac Ruto and its not political parties. My take is, The Mwangi wa Kinuthia led Transition Authority is the biggest stumbling block. First, its composition is entirely made up of National Government appointees as if County Governments have no stake in the transion. It should be reconstituted asap! 2. They shamelessly engage in double speak! They are supposed to have identified and costed all functions due for devolution by 30th June 2013. This is a key consideration for transfer of functions. They have not done so and then baselessly parrot that the County Governments have no capacity? 3. They by law, have made an inventory of all resources including personnel and appropriately re-assigned them to either levels of government. This immediately addresses the irritation they call capacity. It is my fear that this capacity this is Sessional Paper No 10 of 1965 being sneaked back to again categorise some areas as high potential and others low and thus deny them funding. This is manuring inequality. KInuthia wa Mwangi, GO HOME! You have slept on the job. NO REST!
