On the other hand, county assemblies forum chairperson Ndego Haume said devolution is under threat by external and internal forces who are unhappy with its success. Meanwhile, Narok County woman representative Suipan Kudate has called on political leaders to focus on uniting the country than dividing Kenyans for their selfish interests. Not for the many years you have served but the mark that you have left there. The essence of devolution was to assist counties that had been disadvantaged like Baringo. I served here and what he is actually a governor saying is true. You have been grappling with matters of insecurity which has hampered development. Now with devolution you have an opportunity, you have resources to be able to do what you want to. Let us not have in any way that Senate would watch and see devolution being killed. Kuna watu alitoka Nairobi wakakuja huko counties atakua ma governor and they are still trying to kill devolution when they are at the counties. Mi mi ni kiona wakenya, wako peaceful, wakenya wako watu ambawa na elewa, mi simuza siyasa. Ngefenda kusema ya kwaomba saingine sisi viongozi diyotu na onekana tukifanya preemption ya kwaomba kuna vita.
