I once heard a Nigerian Pastor living and pastoring a Church in Kenya say that Kenyans are not easy people to lead! Her words were " if you can lead Kenyans successfully then you can lead anywhere in the world" the Truth is Kenyans hardly appreciate anything or any president until they leave power!😅 Even if you give Kenyans the heaven and earth they will still say you should have done more😂 Kenyans learn to appreciate your country
I love that we are patriotic but we also allow so much negativity to occupy our minds and hearts. Just avoid negative talk when people start communicating their negative thoughts.

@bellaolum9768 County governments are independent of the national government. The governors report or are accountable to county assemblies and the Senate. Not the president. I am sure you have seen cases of governors criticising the president openly in the past. Good example is Joho vs Uhuruto. If they were reporting to the president, the president could have removed them
@@bellaolum9768 Governors don't report to the President, in fact they are like mini-presidents and are answerable to Kenyans and more directly to the county assemblies and citizens of their counties. That's why MCA's impeach governors. Other than security and education most functions are devolved but governors are responsible for kindergarten education as well. County governments coordinate with national government on functions that overlap like sharing of revenues. Of course the president is the president of all Kenyans including governors.
Nigerians tend to believe that a capital city has some special significance, where as for Kenyans it is just the city where the government is head quartered. Even if all the government functions are moved to another part of Kenya, Nairobi will still remain the dominant city for business. The 47 counties were the original 42 districts that were set up by the colonial government for administration. Machakos was the first capital of Kenya before it was moved because the weather was milder in Nairobi.
shida ya nairobi ni ground manze. Wakiweza jenga ground vizuri vile ugaibuni wamefanya, ata sio rocket science, pavements kwa kutembea na kupanda nyasi kando za barabara na kutia bidii kwa usafi. Alafu ufala ya open drainage tuwache, na kukamata watu wa kutupa takataka ovyo, hii inch inazeza kaa safi na supu. 1 billion shillings kila mwaka kujenga ground, mtaani, jijini, and other counties pia wafanye hivyo. then vijana mtaani wanapewa contracts na counties kufanya usafi na kucollect garbage, kudistribute na kumaintain litter bins as part time job yao.
@@magazijuto7991 I agree , but only for Kigali. Dar has pathetic road infrastructure I've watched Bertin's vedios. Nairobi's road network are dense every cardinal points of the city have grade A bypasses hense very difficult to maintain , Thika superhighway and ngong road have splendid drainage, footbridges , sideways and cycling lanes but people don't appreciate that because there are a whole lot of roads to critic.
The counties are a devolved system from the national government. It's just like decentralizing operations so as to customize services to a county needs. But at the end of the day, decisions are made at the Central office.
@@wanjalajesse1694 They are not under the President. They coordinate with the national government especially on disbursement of funds. Also security is not devolved but most functions are.
At the moment, a prime minister is called Prime cabinet secretary by the name Musalia Mudavadi. It's true Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya but still a county with its own governor. We have 47 governors in Kenya. Governors do not report to the president. Counties operate as semi autonomous states, with their own parliaments called county assemblies.
There's nothing like Prime minister. It is nowhere in the constitution or the law. Prime CS is just used to differentiate him from other CS's. In fact he had no clear defined functions that's why he is also the foreign affairs CS.
Nairobi was originally before 2010, an extra-provincial district. There were seven provinces with Nairobi as the eighth, though it was an independent district, and as a city, it had a Mayor. In 2010, the mayors or Mombasa and Nairobi became Governors. Another thing to note is that governors do not report to the president, and county governments do not report to the national government. There are 48 governments, 47 county and 1 national. The system is not federal, but devolved, just like the UK.
Kenyan indians are a tribe in kenya.They are good in business but are not predominantly owning most skyscrapers in Nairobi.They are scattered around the country especially in major towns.Though there are a few who happen to appear in the list of kenya's richest people.Kikiyu community predominantly runs most kenyan businesses and due to their large population cannot be outdone by other groups who happens to be few interms of population dynamics.On the issue of who owns most skyscrapers in Kenya i would honestly say international companies and brands and not individuals.
Kenya has a prime cabinet secretary(minister) who happens to hold the title illegally as the post is not constitutional.He is less powerful compared to the deputy president seat.Ruto made the appointment in a rogue manner and later gave pcs a ministry inorder to make the post less controversial.
Prime CS is not powerful than Deputy president. Also Prime CS is just an empty vehicle for ego that's why Mudavadi was given a substantial portfolio of CS for foreign affairs.
@Afro Connect Kenya is not a federal state but a unitary state with devolved system of government. You are right in that we have 47 counties with 47 county governments including the capital city which is known as Nairobi City County. Nigeria like America has a federal system of government with capital cities being the seat of federal government. Kenya also like Nigeria and America have a presidential system of government. We don't have a prime minister position in a purely presidential system.
I remember my primary social studies in Uganda that Kenya stands (Kenyatta Entered Nairobi Yesterday Afternoon) and Kenyatta himself is Kenya atta meaning the lump of Kenya...
His real name was Johnston kamau. The name Kenya comes from what the akamba and Kikuyu community used to refer to Mt Kenya, the white man couldn't pronounce like the locals so he said 'kenya'. Kenya means Gods resting place.
Kicc is not the highest view point of the city, if you want to see anything and everything ,go to Britam towers ,there you can see even Arusha when the sky is clear ,only that you will not be allowed to film unless management permits.
@@Afro_connect Sure , I get you , being a popular spot with a helicopter pad, makes it ideal for viewing the city compared to the others that are highly restricted.
Correction: Governors don't report to the president. They draw their powers from counties and are answerable to their county electorate directly or through elected county representatives

There was no prime minister in the old constitution only in the period 2008-12 when the constitution was amended to accommodate Raila in the coalition government.
Instead of putting words in his mouth, you should let the Nigerian guest speak for himself about what his first impression of Nairobi is. Plus it’s kind of rude to call him “Nigeria Boy” on video. Call him by his name!

Kenya has 48 independent governments, one National government and 47 county governments. The county goverments have specific roles that are fully devolved to their mandate e.g Health, Business control and licencing,Urban planning and licencing, Agriculture etc wherous the National government retained more roles of National impotance and general but mostly regulatory e.g Security, Tourism, Affirmative action, Food security, Agriculture, Immigration,etc. Much as the counties collect their own revenues, they're also given some equalization funds by national Treasury to boost their operations.
The roof you are talking about is part of Sheria House, generally part of the AG's offices. And that is one of waiting/ banking hall with skylight roofs. And you guys are not accurate about the Governance Structure. Devolved system isn't Federal... But even the Nigerian one is more of a Devolved than a truly Federal.
Kikuyus are the ones who run the country not Indians. Though we also have some very wealthy Indians. But when it comes to land and asset share it goes to Kikuyis and other tribes. Remember Indians are onekf the tribes in Kenya. They fought for independence alongdide other Kenyans like the legendary Pio Gama Pinto
