People Centered Devolution
People Centred Devolved Government
Chapter eleven of the Constitution provides for the establishment of a Devolved Government that will take the form of 47 Counties. The objects of Devolution are to among other ‘give powers of self-governance to the people and enhance the participation of the people in the exercise of the State and in making decisions affecting them.’ Amkeni Wakenya’s Programme under this area aims to promote effective and people- Centred Devolved Governments
Specific Objectives are to:
• Enhance citizen awareness on the new Devolved Structures and avenues of Representation of the people (Voter Education, Civic Education and Political Parties) including marginalised groups such as women, persons with disabilities and minorities
• Facilitate citizen engagement with the development of the policy and legislative framework setting up new Devolved Structures, especially engagement of women, persons with disabilities and minorities. • Facilitate citizen engagement with and representation within the new Devolved Structures especially for marginalised groups such as women, persons with disabilities and minorities
• Promote accountability and transparency in the Devolved structures (citizen scorecards, accountability fora, oversight committees)
