We must not let politics overshadow the practical steps that both leaders are taking to implement their unity pledge. One such step is their support for devolution, which is underlined by their participation in this year’s Devolution Conference in Kakamega county. We must continue supporting devolution, but we urgently need to accelerate its pace.This is because devolution has an important role to play in fostering national unity. Kenya’s new quest for unity started with a handshake at Harambee House but will take shape in the counties. Wycliffe Oparanya is the Governor of Kakamega County
