i think one thing that has been overlooked and ignored is the fact that the new government structure is going to be a huge drain to the limited resources(taxes) that we have or will collect.No one in this country has told us what is going to be the real cost of this new government structure.The country drafted the constitution and came up with this new structure,now kenyans are going to vote for governors,senators,more mps etc and then and only then shall we know the true cost of this new government.Fellow wazuans i ask isn't that the height of absurdity? The laws to govern the county governments are being rushed to fit a specific time frame therefore they will not be upto to par.If we cannot tame corruption in the national government how are we going to prevent or stop corruption in this newly formed county governments? kenyans need to ask questions and stop thinking that it will smooth sailing.This new expensive government structure is the biggest threat to your money and future standards of living.You already have income taxes + VAT now with the county governments expect to pay property taxes on top of all the other taxes.what are your thoughts wazuans?

"Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried." ~ Winston Churchill

Kenyans wanted a devolved govt structure, Kenyans voted for it, Kenyans have to fund it.

But I see the greatest threat as regional Geopolitical atmosphere

The biggest threat to this economy was PEV - When we all virtually stopped working & being productive. People invest & work those loans get paid. Fanyeni kazi!

@sparkly I don't appreciate disconnected thinking. We are the very Kenyans enjoying improving infrastructure but to turn around and distance ourselves from where it comes from is either laziness or hypocrisy or just both! Instead, we should appreciate & find productive use for it in order to sustain the momentum - simple.

Have wondered why we need both the senate and parliament

The Senate is part of parliament. Parliament will now have 2 houses: the Senate and the National Assembly. The Senate is an extra useless expense IMHO. Just one of the copy-paste blunders of the new law. Taxpayers should expect to feel the pinch around 2016 when the central govt leaves the county govts to manage their wage bill.

Form 4 leavers are allowed to make and enact Kenyan law!
