Writing a literature review on devolution in Kenya can be a challenging task.

It requires extensive
research, critical analysis, and synthesis of existing scholarly works related to the topic. The process
involves locating relevant sources, reviewing them thoroughly, and identifying key themes, debates,
and gaps in the literature.

One of the difficulties in writing a literature review is the vast amount of information available on
the subject. Sorting through numerous articles, books, reports, and other sources can be time-
consuming and overwhelming. Additionally, ensuring that the selected sources are credible and
authoritative adds another layer of complexity to the process.

Furthermore, synthesizing the information gathered from various sources into a coherent and well-
structured narrative can be challenging. Writers must effectively summarize the main points of each
source, analyze the findings, and present their own insights and interpretations in a clear and concise
manner.

ethnic identities in determining power and wealth sharing, including the art of exploiting long-
running intercommunity tensions. The advocates are alleged to have been politically influenced in the
exercise of their public power. Much of their ethnic homogeneity is because the administrative units
were created that way in the colonial era, not because they have now been democratised. This
paradigm shift was precipitated by the shortfalls that are often characteristic of highly centralized
systems. The shortfalls include administrative bureaucracies and inefficiencies, misappropriation of
public resources and the marginalization of local communities in development processes. Thus,
