Amidst the multi-million and mini-shillings corruption cases and not forgetting the chair-throwing cat fights that have characterized most Kenyan Councils the future is not totally bleak, with a high degree of sanity prevailing over councils such as Makueni County Council.

What we find very interesting is that Councils are free to run electrical power and water companies.
