| An Overview of Kenya |
Kenya is divided into eight provinces
(Swahili - mkoa)
1. Central
2.
Coast
3.

4.
Nairobi
5. North Eastern
6.
Nyanza
7.
Rift Valley
8.
Western
The provinces are subdivided into seventy-one districts ( wilaya'at ) which are then subdivided into 262 divisions ( tarafa ). The divisions are subdivided into approximately 1,088 locations ( mtaa ) and then sublocations ( kijiji ). A province is administered by a Provincial Commissioner (PC).
Kenyan local authorities mostly do not follow common boundaries with divisions. They are classified as City, Municipality, Town or County councils.
A third discrete type of classification are constituencies. They are further subdivided into wards. |
