Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has said that corruption is the biggest threat to devolution.
Speaking on Wednesday during the fifth Devolution Conference, Raila told governors that conflicts of interests were harming service delivery as county officials enrichened themselves.
The opposition chief said county speakers, majority leaders, MCAs and county executives had positioned themselves with the sole purpose of making money from public works projects.
He added, governors were bribing MCAs to approve their cabinet appointees.
He described the bench-marking trips so beloved by MCAs as bribes by governors.
Appreciating the possibility of innocent county officials being perceived as corrupt, Raila said the only way out was through an audit of their lifestyles.
