Kenyan Government
The politics that surround the Kenyan government happens within a framework of a presidential representative democratic republic. In such a framework, the President of Kenya is appointed as both the head of the government as well as the head of state. The president also leads a multi-party system. The most recent amendments to their constitution have allowed the sharing of executive powers between both the Kenyan President and the Kenyan Prime Minister. Executive power is handled by the government, and the powers are shared between both the Prime Minister and the President who handle, oversee, and supervise the entire cabinet. Both the government and the National Assembly have access to Legislative power in Kenya, and the judiciary is separate from the legislature and the executive.
