I am not sure whether we have looked at this lacuna. The county governments should operate within the standards and policies set by the national Government. What structure will ensure that the county governments are operating within those standards and policies? As it is now, any attempt by the national Government is seen by the county governments as interfering with structures that are not a county function. We do not have standards in some areas and that is why one county will give Kshs300,000 and another one gives Kshs48 million. We do not have a framework that guides us on the standard and policy function of the national Government. Those standards and policies are not being implemented. As a country, when an issue arises that requires us to look at the new Constitution, then we should be practical.
