Deputy President Kithure Kindiki told county leaders that devolution will stay strong. He spoke at a budget meeting held at his Karen office. The government has no plans to weaken the powers given to counties over the past 15 years. Kindiki said devolution has become powerful enough to protect itself from any attacks.
The Constitution creates one government that works at two different levels. National and county governments must work together rather than fight each other. Kindiki praised how both sides cooperate on health programs like Community Health Promoters and Taifa Care. He said teamwork helps the country move forward better.
Arguments between different government levels happen everywhere around the world. Countries like Australia still have money fights after 180 years of shared power systems. Kenya faces similar challenges when deciding how much money goes where. These disagreements are part of normal government operations.
The National Treasury has sent 387 billion shillings to counties this financial year. This amount represents 99 percent of what counties were promised. The remaining 17 billion shillings will reach counties before June ends. Kindiki stressed that no county payments are late except for the June amount.
Both government levels must focus on helping citizens rather than fighting each other. The Council of Governors wants everyone to work together on important projects. Good cooperation leads to better services for all Kenyans across the country.
