Confusion marred the first day of the Fifth Devolution Conference in Kakamega after it emerged some counties had not paid for their delegates. Delegates from Nyamira, Kisii, Meru, Taita Taveta and West Pokot were the worst affected by the confusion. Some MCAs and delegates from the counties were turned away. When delegates from affected counties arrived, they were informed their counties had not made the payment to facilitate their participation. An official from Kisii said some officials were yet to travel as the county executive sought money to facilitate their trip.
