Abstract: Chapter 12 of Kenya’s 2010 Constitution established a transformative framework for local governance, replacing former local government structures with 47 County Governments in 2013. This decentralization aimed to increase democratic participation, enable communities to self-manage, and promote a fairer distribution of resources nationwide. A key component of this framework, Article 27(4), guarantees protection against discrimination for all, including marginalized groups, while emphasizing gender inclusion and equality in governance. County governments are structured with both legislative and executive branches to support effective governance and accountability. The legislative branch, the County Assembly, consists of elected representatives responsible for drafting and passing county-specific laws. The executive branch is led by the Governor and Deputy Governor, with support from County Executive Committee (CEC) Members, who oversee policy implementation, budget management, and the county’s development agenda.
