The Council of Governors have lauded financial support under the second phase of the Kenya Devolution Support Programme which will address governance issues and bottlenecks in its implementation.
The four-year project being implemented and coordinated under the State Department for Devolution is funded by the World Bank to the tune of Sh19 billion (USD150 Million).
Already, all 47 counties have signed participatory agreements with each county benefiting from Sh34 million (Euro 234,500) every year as an institutional grant as well as millions of shillings in investment grants.
Under the programme, counties are mandated to institute governance reforms and increase their own source of revenue by at least 5 per cent annually to enable counter-funding to the projects.
