@bigbossman, precisely.Governors are imagining they are running small republics yet they are relying on the central gov for funding. The earlier they start generating income for the counties the better and that is when they will be independent. It pains me to see how bad the hosuing situation in Nbi city is so bad yet the former City Council owns all those dilapidated estates that generates negligible income.

There exactly is where you are wrong, the central government gets its money from Kenyan taxes, au sio. There is nothing like funding counties, the money belongs to Kenyans and the county government have as much right to it as the central government.
