The Senate has been challenged to fight and protect devolution for purposes of advancing development at grass root levels.
Briefing journalists at county offices on Monday, Nakuru Governor Kinuthia Mbugua said that devolution lies in the hands of senators.

“I want to challenge senators to jealously protect devolution so that Kenyans can reap its fruits,” he said.
Mbugua said that much has been achieved since inception of devolution two years ago adding that counties need more resources to advance development.
The Nakuru County boss noted that Kenyans at grass root levels can now access services they could not access before.

“My government will implement projects across all sub counties on equal basis,” he assured.
Mbugua urged leaders to stop speculations on matters development and instead seek the right information on the same.
