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.’
Activities that contribute to the following will be given priority:
- Enhance citizen awareness on the new Devolved Structures and avenues of Representation of the people in the new constitution;
- Facilitate citizen engagement with the development of the policy and legislative framework setting up new Devolved Structures and facilitate their (citizen) engagement with and representation within the new Devolved Structures;
- Promote accountability and transparency in the Devolved structures using mechanisms such as citizen scorecards, accountability fora, oversight committees.
