"content": "From the classrooms, we were always told regional economic development bodies were the engines of rural development. It has been a long journey from Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 which stated that development will go to areas that have a competitive advantage. As a result, there was a disproportionate development index in this country that seemed to favour some specific regions and neglected many others. It was on this basis that during the term of the late President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, the greatest President we have ever had, that devolution, district focus and rural development idea started. It is for this reason that I have very nostalgic memories of President Moi and have no apologies about it. Over the years, these RDAs have run into headwinds, either financially, management wise, or in their bid to discharge their mandate. Their mandate has been affected by their organisation, structure and funding. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
