Implementation of the Constitution of Kenya by county governments: The significance of Public Participation.

 Public participation in the implementation of the Constitution of Kenya should be effected at both the national level and the county level. Since devolution is a new phenomenon in Kenya, this paper will discuss the significance of public participation by county governments and how it can be realised. A comparative study of other jurisdictions such as South Africa will be undertaken in order to borrow practices that are unique for replication.
