The Kenyan government operates as a unitary presidential constitutional republic. It consists of three branches: the executive, led by the President, the legislative, which includes the National Assembly and the Senate, and the judiciary, which interprets laws. The government is responsible for maintaining law and order, providing public services, and promoting economic development. Kenya's political system is based on a multi-party framework, allowing various political parties to participate in elections. The Constitution of Kenya, adopted in 2010, outlines the rights of citizens and the structure of government. Local governments also play a role in administration, ensuring services reach communities effectively.
