Raila accuses Uhuru, Ruto of frustrating devolution

Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) leader Raila Odinga has accused President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto of frustrating devolution after they both skipped the ongoing 3rd Annual Devolution Conference in Meru County.

Raila said the state has proved to be an enemy of devolution working with their agents to frustrate devolution.

The CORD Leader also hit out at Senators for giving the event a wide berth, saying Senators are bitter with Governors since the county chiefs enjoy more powers than them.

On Thursday, President Kenyatta delegated Devolution Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri to represent him at the event while his deputy also skipped the event Friday and sent Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa to officially close the event on his behalf.
