dc.description.abstractThe overall goal of this study was to investigate the role of devolved governments in enhancing national security in Kenya between 2013 and 2017. Specifically, this study sought to address three major questions. The first objective was to examine the place of devolved governments in the enhancement of National Security under the post 2010 Constitutional Dispensation. The second objective was to critically analyse the place of devolved governments in the enhancement of national security with specific reference to Northern Kenya. The third objective was to draw the experience of Northern Kenya towards informing future direct directions on the place of devolved government in the national security outlook. This study adopted case study research design. The researcher carried out desktop reviews from books, journals and reports. Findings of this study on the place of devolved governments in the enhancement of National Security under the post 2010 Constitutional Dispensation have indicated that there exists a weak relationship between devolved governments and national security. The findings on the place of devolved governments in the enhancement of national security with specific reference to Northern Kenya indicate that the current situation in the northern parts of Kenya has benefitted immensely from the devolved units yet security remains one of the major challenges. Findings on the experience of Northern Kenya towards informing future direct directions on the place of devolved government in the national security outlook indicate that the region remains a significant in shaping future direction of national security. In view of the findings on devolution and enhancement of national security, this study concludes that legal framework on devolution limits County governments from taking lead in protecting human life, property and other resources. The study recommends Constitutional review for the involvement of County governments in enhancing national security.en_US
