EDITORIAL: Devolution was never meant to be a feeding trough
More than Sh4 trillion has flowed to counties since 2013, but devolution is now staring at a crisis of credibility amidst unchecked spending. Since its historic and highly celebrated inception in 2013, devolution was widely hailed as the ultimate, constitutional silver bullet for Kenya's deeply entrenched historical inequalities. The Collapse of Institutional OversightThe fundamental premise of devolution was elegant in its simplicity: bring vital resources and critical decision-making power directly to the people. It was absolutely never meant to be a heavily funded feeding trough for a new, highly localized class of political elites. A Warning to the NationThe undeniable truth is that Kenya simply cannot afford to let the grand experiment of devolution fail.

Scientists are baffled by a rule–breaking black hole that's growing at 13 TIMES the cosmic 'speed limit'
An exceptionally hungry black hole from the dawn of the universe is growing at 13 times the cosmic 'speed limit', experts say. There, they spotted something unexpected – a supermassive black hole that already weighed 440 million solar masses. Gas accretes onto the central black hole, forming an accretion disk and jetsThe team, from Waseda University and Tohoku University in Japan, used the Subaru Telescope to analyse the black hole. This unexpected combination suggests scientists still have more to learn about the mechanisms of early black hole growth, the team said. 'The observations provide fresh insight into how supermassive black holes may have grown so quickly in the Universe's early days.'
