47 Governors, Billions in Budgets: Why Are We Still Obsessed with State House? Tonight, we are having a conversation at the heart of Kenya’s devolution and our politics. We have 47 counties, governors managing billions in public resources, county assemblies, thousands of county officials and institutions created to bring government closer to the people. Yet whenever we talk about development, appointments, political influence or the future of our communities, our eyes somehow remain fixed on State House. So, here is the uncomfortable question: Why are we still obsessed with State House? Is it because the President still controls too much? Is it because governors have failed to fully utilise the power and resources given to counties? Or has Kenyan politics simply never moved away from the culture of centralised power? More importantly, are our counties delivering value for the billions they receive? And if devolution is working, why do Kenyans still look to Nairobi for solutions to problems that should be addressed locally? Tonight's conversation is not about personalities or political parties. It is about power, money, accountability and the future of devolution. 📍 Join us LIVE on TikTok 🕖 7:00 PM | Today, Sunday, 9th August 2026 Drop your county in the comments and tell us: Do you trust your governor more than you trust State House?
