To solve this debacle, it will take the willingness of the concerned departments to pass the functions and the attached resources 100 per cent. If you look at the housing project, for instance, it is a devolved function but President William Ruto is doing it as if it is a national government function. In most of these projects, you can see the national government is holding the money. Kenya Kwanza appears to be more interested in holding back a lot of cash. An example is the Trade ministry, which had been allocated a lot of money.
