I believe that we can do better by adhering to our very progressive constitution to successfully achieve devolution development. The success of devolution will easily come with the full and genuine participation of the people in development agenda. As we head towards the 2016-2017 financial year, many counties are busy doing formalities of engaging communities to look into the budget estimates. And genuine participation and contribution can only come from an empowered people. Counties should give space or opportunity for people to critically evaluate and analyse the delivery of services as well as projects before presenting new budget estimates to communities.
