The 47 counties are grappling with pending bills that have crippled many small-scale businesses started by local investors who saw the benefit of working with counties to implement infrastructural and other projects. As the head of the institution that oversees counties, Mr Lusaka knows that even red tape has been devolved. The counties have been acting like little replicas of the inept national government. PROGRESSThe Kenya Private Sector Alliance can play a pivotal role here, having the knowledge, experience and expertise on how to overcome these challenges and boost industrialisation. Hopefully, Kepsa will increase its interaction with the counties to advise on how the sector can help to enhance growth and development.
