The establishment was perceived to selfishly protect the interests of the educated elite and sadly, devolution seems to be following the same trajectory. Out of this, Sh157.6 billion went to recurrent expenditure (of this Sh108 billion went to salaries) and Sh25.9 billion to development. Kenyans may just vote against devolution, a blow to citizens who sacrificed so much to bring back the devolved system. Politics is a high-risk game and for devolution, this is a battle for survival. It is not an exaggeration to say that people who believe passionately in devolution really do believe it is under immense threat.
