Think local, act global

Devolution is here to stay, in fact, our new constitution is described by other African state as a very ambitious piece of paper. However, we must understand that devolution is not an end to itself, it is a means to an end. so maybe you are asking, so what is the end? and i will tell you, the end is build up capacity, it is the brought in input relative to the expected output. So lets not be overwhelmed by excitement, for a lot needs to be done to reach the utopia, the land of idealism, the land of excesses, plenty and abundance, the Kenya we are dreaming of.
What business shall we then undertake to reach the end? According to me, there's no end, there's no destiny, there's no relenting and there's no about turn, for change is not defined by an end. In short, our business is change. We should be in the business of reformation, re-fabrication, restoration, reconstruction and restructuring.
 reformation
We need to reform our mind, if that is the fast step of our endless journey. Arrest the attitude of dependency and inability, crush the mindset of sycophancy and employment. Refine ourselves with utility creation, tune our minds to conform to the changing world and seek to be guided by informativeness.
education is a weapon that will liberate our minds from that which we would rather break away from, so lets keep learning. once we are learned, we need to have a sense of personal responsibility to build this capacity, nobody owns devolution, and nobody can leverage themselves on experience, therefore to effect this new darling, collective responsibility is indispensable. therefore, i insist if there's anything to reform is our mind, configure ourselves with a sense of responsibility, positive to change and exhibit due diligence in the process of capacity building.
next time, i will tell you why we need to re-fabricate our resources and machinations, keep it here.
