Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said the Government is working closely with counties for the smooth transfer of remaining functions and assets.
Speaking on Friday when he held discussions with the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC) at the Official Residence in Karen, Nairobi, Mr Gachagua said devolution had transformed the country and must be protected and nurtured.
"We are committed to the success of devolution because it has brought great transformation to our country. Our people at the grassroots are getting access to better services than before because of devolution," said the Deputy President.
Mr Gachagua said as a consultative administration, the Government will continue engaging with all the Devolution actors to ensure its success.
"We are keen to continue creating a smooth working relationship with the counties for Kenyans to enjoy the best benefits from both levels of government," he assured.
