Consultancy and Training and Legislative Drafting and Policy drafting.

 

The Constitution of Kenya reshaped the architecture of governance in the country thus leading to the establishment of national and county levels of government. The County governments came into operation after the March, 2013 elections. The fourth schedule is instructive with respect to the fact that it assigns powers and functions between the two levels of government. In the context of transition to the develoved system of governance and the possible capacity deficits that it would occasion, we formed this department of the firm with the intention of addressing these emergent training, legislative drafting and policy formulation needs from the stand point of the county governments. Essentially, we are committed to building and promoting the institutional and legislative capacity of the county governments.
