| dc.description.abstract | The level of citizen participation in decision making
processes tends to be low. The citizens are often also very little
informed about what is being discussed and decided, even though
it is supposed to be in the public interest. That has even been the
case in the most fundamental expression of the socio-political
contract between state authorities and citizens. This paper
describes the influence of the level of citizen participation on
governance of projects. It is based on the study of the level citizen
participation in local governance of projects carried out in
Elgeiyo Marakwet and Nandi Counties in Kenya. This study was
anchored with the theory of New Public Management (NPM)
where it emphasized on a situation that is more transparent,
responsible and predictable, and therefore, prompts advance
good governance at the local levels. A qualitative research
method was the most suitable approach of collecting and
analyzing the data. The study found out that citizens were still at
the level of tokenism as their power have not been felt though
their voices have been heard. When citizen participation is
increased sometimes seen as a way to increase the efficacy of
regulation, improve the provision of public goods and services,
and boost outcomes in areas such as health and education that
overlap the boundaries between citizens and their governments.
Local government is a platform that all citizens can participate
in local issues efficiently and effectively. Their participation is
considered as an important factor for the success and prosperity of local government. | en_US |
