| dc.description.abstract | Good governance is a key pillar to sustainable development of any nation. Many conflicts in Africa can be traced to failure in governance, responsible and accountable management as well as failure to cultivate cultures of peace, especially, engaging in dialogue and reconciliation. Good governance seeks justice and equity for all irrespective of race, gender, religion and any other parameter which man uses to discriminate and exclude. When we manage our resources sustainably and practice good governance we deliberately and consciously promote cultures of peace. In Kenya, governance is expected to be improved through the process of devolution enacted by the Kenya 2010 constitution. This paper seeks to assess the extent through which devolution can be an important ingredient and avenue towards a peaceful Kenya, despite the challenges involved. This is attributed to the expectation that a well-functioning society promotes sustainable development and hence peace. | en_US |
