Abstract

Kenya devolution was found to be an ambitious program, counties are facing challenges in enhancing devolved service delivery .The main purpose of this study was to establish the effect of legal framework on devolved service delivery. The study targets a population of 35,444 staff from 8 counties. The study has adopted a mixed method approach.Structured and open-ended questionnaires were used in the study. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis. More results revealed that legal framework had positive and significant on service delivery. Based on the findings the study concludes legal framework significantly improves service delivery. Thus, legal framework in county governments reinforces management support, financial resources and stakeholder engagement thus increasing the propensity to service delivery. Hence, at high levels of legal framework, the effect of management support, financial resources and stakeholder engagement and delivery of devolved services is stronger and significant as opposed to when it is at low or medium level.
法律框架对肯尼亚选定县提供分散服务的影响
肯尼亚的权力下放是一项雄心勃勃的计划,各县在加强权力下放服务方面面临挑战。本研究的主要目的是建立法律框架对权力下放服务提供的影响。这项研究的对象是来自8个县的35444名员工。这项研究采用了混合方法。研究中使用了结构化和开放式问卷。数据分析采用描述性统计、相关分析和回归分析。更多的结果表明,法律框架对提供服务具有积极和重要的作用。根据调查结果,该研究得出结论,法律框架显著改善了服务提供。因此,县政府的法律框架加强了管理支持、财政资源和利益相关者的参与,从而增加了提供服务的倾向。因此,在高级别的法律框架下,管理支持、财政资源和利益攸关方参与以及提供权力下放服务的效果比在低或中等级别时更强、更显著。
