By AGEWA MAGUTMore by this AuthorKakamega County boss Wycliffe Oparanya is the best performing governor in Kenya, according to a report by the Consortium of Researchers on Governance. The organisation's findings on Friday followed a study involving all the 47 counties. Mr Oparanya scored 87 percent and was followed by Kirinyanga County’s Anne Waiguru with 84 percent and Makueni’s Kivutha Kibwana with 83 percent. The study also focused on the County Integrated Development Plan (CIPD), budgeting and public participation and the governors' job approval ratings. The research revealed that not all citizens knew the difference between national and devolved services and that some governors' job approval ratings were irrational and based on national politics rather than performance.
