Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Azimio leader Raila Odinga has accused President William Ruto of frustrating governors by taking over some of the devolved functions.<\/p>\n

Raila, who on Saturday gave President Ruto’s government a D- in terms of performance over the last one year, said the Kenya Kwanza administration is not committed to supporting devolution.<\/p>\n

He said Ruto’s administration has assumed critical devolution roles like affordable housing, Roads, Markets and Industrial parks.<\/p>\n

According to Raila, the reason why the national government is clinging to devolved functions is because of the appetite to control the billions of shillings involved.<\/p>\n

“They want to build markets so that they can then hand them over to the county governments; all these is because of corruption,” Raila claimed when he released Kenya Kwanza’s scorecard.<\/p>\n

The opposition leader said that the national government should not be controlling affordable housing because that is a devolved function hat should be run by governors.<\/p>\n

“It is unfortunate that they want to build the houses and then give them to county governments all because of the money involved,” he said.<\/p>\n

He cited the government’s fertiliser programme as one of the elements of devolution that the Kenya Kwanza government is controlling.<\/p>\n

“This is an agricultural function that is devolved,” Raila said insisting that President Ruto’s administration is not keen to let go devolved functions.<\/p>\n

President Ruto has already established a committee that will work out the mechanics of ensuring that devolved functions under the national government are handed over to governors in 17 months.<\/p>\n

The opposition chief who on Saturday released a detailed performance index for the Kenya Kwanza administration, said that Ruto’s administration has performed below par and dismally.<\/p>\n

“The assessment has been done and we have done the rating and our scorecard for this regime is 30 per cent of D minus,” Raila said.<\/p>\n
