Twelve years ago, the country embarked on a bold journey, devolution. It was meant to take resources and decision-making power from Nairobi to the grassroots. Today, a decade later, lives are being saved in county hospitals, babies are being born in facilities that never existed before, and local leaders are shaping their communities. But beneath the progress, deep cracks remain. Corruption, delayed disbursements, and poor leadership.Tonight, Ben Chumba takes us across counties and into the corridors of power to examine what’s working, what’s failing, and who’s paying the price. We begin in Meru County, where a surgical first has changed everything.
