Devolution
The Voice of Integrity Party (VIP) believes that devolution is one of Kenya's greatest constitutional achievements. It brings government closer to the people, strengthens democracy, promotes equitable development, enhances citizen participation, and ensures that every region has an opportunity to prosper. VIP is committed to protecting and strengthening devolution by empowering county governments, promoting fiscal responsibility, improving service delivery, and ensuring that every county has the capacity and resources to meet the needs of its people. The Constitution identifies the objectives of devolution as promoting democratic and accountable exercise of power, enhancing self-governance, equitable resource sharing, local development, and accessible public services. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
