I told everyone who cared to listen way before they voted "Yes". The governance structure (was) is extremely top heavy and most of our resources (will be) are being used on recurrent expenditure starting with salaries. Now everyone has started seeing the point. But reversing this will be one herculean task!!! The vested interest - and they are extremely many - will definitely not give up their gravy train without one hell of a fight. As far as they are concerned, Kenya and it's people and economy can go to hell as long as their pockets a lined with our hard earned cash.

"The 'small' problems will be rectified after the constitution is passed"! And you guys swallowed that and in the processes took me, my money and my country down with you!

That is what happens when emotions overtake reason!!! I predicted everything that is happening now including institutionalized tribalism and devolved corruption!!!

Anyway me I voted emphatically NO even if RAO read the katiba for me.

Has anybody ever sat down to think where the money we dish to counties come from, and whether by dishing the money, are we really supporting the sectors that contributed that money in the first place? If the money comes from meaningful economic activity, and then we keep giving this money to counties to fund non-economic activities- eg foreign trips, buying fuel guzzlers, etc. You do not need to be a rocket economist to see that the current model is very likely, in the long run, bring this country to its knees

Kwanza these idiots are just demanding more money and they are not adding value to the economy. As you are saying, using money generated by other parts of the economy for foreign travels, building/buying mansions and cars, leasing right, left and center, paying salaries to people we can do without etc. is as stupid as they come.

It is like making several trips to the river and pouring the water in a container full of holes!

With current model, counties will continue to demand more and more, and think less and less how to generate their own money. A better model would be to allow counties generate own revenue(and collect taxes) commensurate with their devolved functions and then pay certain percentage to central govt. The current system( including some aspects of the NYS program )will have same effect as printing money.
