Headway in devolving county payroll, road functions

Transitional Authority Chairman Kinuthia Wamwangi and his Commission on Revenue Allocation counterpart Micah Cheserem confirmed that the six-hour meeting had made some head way in securing devolution of services.

“I want to confirm and assure the country that the transition authority to analyse and determine all functions to enable the true activities of devolution to take place,” Wamwangi asserted.

Cheserem appealed for understanding arguing that rolling out ‘devolution is a very challenging exercise.’

“There is no intention to take money out of the Sh210 billion (approved to be disbursed to 47 counties). We have already agreed for those counties where the roads will pass they may have to make a contribution; we have also agreed the money will have to be released on a monthly basis,” he said.

Monday’s meeting comes a week after the first round of talks at which governors insisted they would press on with their campaign for a referendum to amend the Constitution in order to secure more funding for counties.

Uncertainty over transfer of functions recently occasioned delays in payment of salaries for some public servants including doctors.
