    "content": "due process. That is because we are still dealing with issues of how public officials react to requests by the public. In fact, the members of the public have been forced to pay for services that are supposed to be free. This has been shared as if it is a function of the devolved governments. The bureaucratisation of county governments has not allowed people to appreciate the social welfare mechanism around the institution of governorship and Members of County Assemblies as to occasion proper service delivery. In the first five years of devolution, we saw the governors buy ambulances that were to be used to refer patients to the national hospitals rather than deal with the issue. One can tell that there is no proper documentation on how members of the public have benefited from the functions of devolved government. Therefore, these forms of maladministration require some kind of repository where people can get recourse. I am afraid to say that even at the national level we have not seen this happening. I have just received a letter from the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) on a gentleman called Kosgey who was unfairly dismissed by the Kenya Dairy Board. There is another gentleman whose hand was cut off while working with Kakuzi Limited. If you look at Kenya Dairy Board and Kakuzi Limited it is about a devolved function, which is agriculture, but then they still have to come to Delta House to be heard."
