[@TisaKenya @TISAKenya]

NG-CDF was initially introduced to decentralize development resources to the grassroots at a time when local government structures were weak. However, with the advent of devolution, we now have constitutionally established county governments with the mandate and framework to deliver services at the local level. CDF in its current form duplicates this role and undermines the devolved system.
Moreover, assigning MPs the responsibility of implementing government projects contradicts the principle of separation of powers. Parliament’s role is to legislate, represent the people, and provide oversight—not to manage funds or run development projects.
As the Bill moves to the Senate, TISA calls on Senators to reflect deeply on their constitutional duty to protect devolution. Entrenching NG-CDF in the Constitution entrenches confusion and conflict between national and county governments. It weakens accountability structures and blurs lines of responsibility.
We urge the Senate to demand a clear framework that aligns with devolution, promotes transparency, and respects institutional boundaries. Guarding devolution means rejecting structures that dilute its purpose.

Can unethical practices and corruption affect service delivery? The answer is Yes! Today a section of civil society network members joined a discussion that would contribute into the national gender and corruption survey 2025.

@FemnetProg @VSOKenya @AIChildStudies @EU_YSBKenya 2️⃣ . Where are the gaps?

We are asking the tough questions:

🟠 Who’s underrepresented?
🟠 Are grassroots voices and smaller NGOs being heard?
🟠 What role are county governments playing?

[TI-Kenya @TIKenya]

📢 Over the next 2 days, TI-Kenya is hosting a Media Stakeholders' Conference under the #TupiganeNaUfisadi project, supported by the @EUinKenya.
