[Samson Wire, Standard]Delayed funding by the exchequer and wanton graft are the biggest impediments to devolution eight years after its implementation, governors have said. Mr Ongwae spoke on Spice FM and said under-funding by the national government had affected devolution. Prof Kibwana said graft in the national and county governments had adversely affected devolution. “The solution is to do away with negative ethnicity, graft, tame cartels then we’d have even more resources for devolution. Cash flow problems, especially now with the Covid-19 pandemic, have also led to delay in payment of suppliers,” Kibwana said.
