Devolution in Kenya was touted as a solution to development inequalities in the country. The citizens believed in the constitution that the creation of the county governments would bring services closer to them, enhance access to leaders and ultimately achieve development at a faster rate. The performance of the counties has recently become a subject of discussion by every Kenyan. It has been over three years since, but tangible results are not evident with blame between National and County governments and institutions thereof increasing by the day. County governments have not established their foot in revenue collection, legislative agenda is yet to take root with the county assemblies having been grounded by the pull and push for higher pay by the members, minimal capacity of the MCAs to legislate and debate Bills and county residents developing apathy towards their county leaders. The Council of Governors is concerned with this and has instituted a research in which you are the lead person.   

a) Suggest an appropriate title that this research can take

b) Outline any four specific research objectives for the study

c) Draw a schematic diagram of a conceptual framework that the research should adopt clearly indicating the various types of variables.

Briefly explain any four ethical considerations that you would bear in mind while conducting your research.
