Is Agriculture a National or County Governments’ Policy Function in Kenya?
In the year 2010, Kenya promulgated a new Constitution which introduced a two
tier system of governance: the National Government and forty-seven (47) County
Governments. The Fourth Schedule of the Constitution assigns thirty-five (35)
functions to the National Government under part one (1) and fourteen (14) functions
to County Governments under part two (2). Devolved functions primarily focus on
service delivery to the citizens. County Governments have been bestowed with both
legislative and executive authority to facilitate the performance of their functions and
exercise of their powers.
