#KillingDevolutionAt10 Starving Counties of the funds is an iceberg of the bigger plot to recentralize. Governors @KenyaGovernors rather than seeing the bigger scheme and responding appropriately, they have turned helpless. @LindaKatiba is mobilizing Kenyans to defend devolution
The bane is also that most of the KRA revenue is collected at the local level with counties left to collect their own levies, however, the revenue sharing formula leaves 80% of resources at the national level, a policy organ, not an implementation organ. #KillingDevolutionAt10
Its also easier for the county government to collect revenue from small & micro enterprises, which constitute the bulk of business and economic units in Kenya.
A paradigm shift is needed with the success of devolution at its CORE.

#KillingDevolutionAt10 in 1965 Jomo Kenyatta killed regional governments ( constitutional devolution) by starving them off the funds. History repeats itself. Yet Kenyans don't learn. Since devolution started in 2013 national Executive/civil service etc has been expanding. Why?
Thread alert: We must not stand as they #KillingDevolutionAt10. Devolution is the core anchor of local self-rule that gives county governments’ meaningful authority over local matters. Here’s why:
Devolved governance has played an important role in shaping our elections. In the past, our elections were all about the national Presidency, with a zero-sum approach that left many people feeling left out. #KillingDevolutionAt10
Kenya's 2010 Constitution brought a revolutionary change to governance structures. From centralized top-down governance to devolved bottom-up decision-making, aimed to promote equitable development and popular participation. #KenyaConstitution #Devolution #KillingDevolutionAt10
Who is #KillingDevolutionAt10? The counties have not received funds for the last four months and may have to wait more to have the issue resolved. But at the same time, is it all about recentralizing power?

National Treasury has refused to disburse revenue share to Counties totalling KShs. 125.8Billion for months of January, February, March and April, 2023. This has crippled crucial services
Further Governors and Senators perennial warfare only help the national government campaign against devolved governments. They see each other as competitors instead of being the core guardians of devolution.

@LindaKatiba
Governors have contributed significantly in the erosion and undermining of the devolution by failing to grasp the fundamentals of devolution underpinned in the Constitution. Preferring to engage in political optics and pleading with National Government!
#KillingdevolutionAt10
The 2010 Constitution requires that each level of government 'shall perform its functions, and exercise its powers, in a manner that respects the functional and institutional integrity of government at the other level'.
#KillingDevolutionAt10
This is not the first time various actors are trying to kill devolution. It's historical #KillingDevolutionAt10
Yet:
COK 2010 represented a fundamental paradigm shift in the structures of governance in Kenya. It exemplified a devolved government that has the objective of institutionalizing bottom-up decision-making, equitable development and popular participation.
#KillingDevolutionAt10
They mostly invest in political optics and pleading with National Government rather mobilizing and galvanizing a popular political support from Wananchi to force National Government accede to devolution as established by the Constitution. #KillingDevolutionAt10
Sessional Paper No. 10. I now Control the Means of Production and the State.... I EAT for YOU! How the elite set us up for control of power and resources at the expense of the people.
The three evils: Privatization, State Capture and Inequality
#KillingDevolutionAt10
To reverse this legacy of centralized authoritarian state, the 2010 Constitution 'devolved' fiscal, political and administrative powers to 47 counties.

#AmKenyan Devolution turns 10 this year. It decentralised power and resources. This doesn't sit well with those that feel they are supposed to be supreme power points governing Kenya. The #KillingDevolutionAt10 was started by Uhuru. @WilliamsRuto MUST protect it! @LindaKatiba
Devolution is breathing life into COK 2010, why does it feel like it is on the chopping block? Is this a blast from the past? We have seen this script being played out before; Mark Twain said that History does not repeat itself but it often rhymes.
#KillingDevolutionAt10
Is the Kenya Kwanza government hellbent at fulfilling what Uhuru Kenyatta started in 2013, to kill the Kenya 2010 constitution? The killing of the people's constitution started early right after independence in 1969. The same script at play today. #KillingDevolutionAt10
