Raila urges MCAs to ensure Devolution benefits the electorates.

THE National Super Alliance Leader Raila Odinga has urged the Members of the County Assemblies to ensure that the devolve system of Governance benefit the electorates.

Raila says the spirit of devolution aims at benefiting the people at the grass root level.

Addressing Members of the Kisumu County Assembly, Raila said the national government is up to no good and wants to kill devolution.

He says the two levels of Government that is the County Government and the National Government are distinct but are interdependent.

He urges the MCAs to ensure they effectively play their roles of oversight, Legislations and representation of the people so as to ensure devolution works at its best.

He says Kisumu County is among those counties with great potentials but is under achiever hence the need to up the games.

He says the MCAs must ensure that there is adequate service delivery to the people.

Raila has urged the people of Kisumu County to fully support the new County Government of Kisumu under the leadership of Prof. Peter Anyang Nyong’o as the Governor and Dr. Mathews Ochieng Owili so as to help in bringing development to the county.

“I know it very well that if you truly support the new Governor of Kisumu County and his team then you will be able to have development here in Kisumu County,” Raila says.

Raila at the same time says the people of Kenya must ensure that the issue of electoral justice is attained at all cost.

“We will ensure we use every available means to ensure that the people of Kenya get electoral Justice,” he says.

He urges the people of Kenya to remain firm and ensure that electoral justice is fully achieved by all.
Raila has thanked the people of Kisumu County and other counties supporting Nasa for not participating in what he has termed as a sham election of October 26 this year.

“I want to sincerely thank you for joining other Counties supporting Nasa for not taking part in that sham election of October 26 this year,” he adds.

Raila also slams the recent statement by Uhuru Kenyatta for thanking the Kenya Police Service for a job well done during the electioneering period.
