The devolved governments in their conceptualisation and overall architecture are best placed to undertake rural transformation and initiate development at the grassroots – from design to execution. The transformational economic approach has been defined by economists as that development that targets to improve support systems in rural areas. Increased payment of taxes means increased infrastructural development, which translates to improved living standards. The forums are convened by the executive and the assembly at different stages to plan community priorities based on identified rural needs. Without a doubt, with challenges here and there, devolution remains the most successful model of economic transformation working for Kenya.
