Deputy President William Ruto has stated that he will be supporting the awaited constitutional changes if they envision entrenching devolution.
Ruto who was in support of the decision said his opposition is against "a suggestion on creating another layer of devolution it must not necessarily be about amending the constitution."
While speaking during the 5th Devolution Conference, the Deputy President indicated that the to be made changes should not entail the expansion of the executive "but about effective management of resources."
"It must be about devolution onwards not devolution upwards,"The DP reminded the Governors on their responsibility with the county resources.
He went ahead to acknowledge the MCAs for their great contribution towards the success of the counties while noting that they rarely recognized.
Ruto further mentioned that the national government had no intention of frustrating the County Governments by not disbursing all the county funds.
According to him, the delays were brought about by the shortage of funds given that at times the revenue collection falls short of the projected government earnings through taxation.
