Intergovernmental Relations Act, 2012, Section 12 (b)
provides that the Technical Committee shall take over the residual
functions of the transition entity established under the law relating to
transition to the devolved government after the dissolution of such an entity.
Among the residual functions that IGRTC took over from Transition
Authority (TA) was is costing, unbundling and transfer of devolved
functions.
Under the Fourth Schedule of the constitution of Kenya 2010 (COK
2010), the museum is a devolved function. Part one of the
schedule, clause 25 lists ‘’ancient and historic monuments of national
importance” as a function of the National Government while part two 4
(g) lists “museums” as a function of the County Governments.
Despite the functions having been transferred to counties through
Kenya Gazette supplement No 116 of 9 th August 2013 the function is
still being performed by the National Government.
The team chaired by IGRTC Chairman Prof Karega Mutahi
discussed the challenges impeding the transfer and operationalization of the museums’ function by counties.
