COUNTYTRAK PERFORMANCE INDEX THE COUNTYTRAK PERFORMANCE INDEX 2019/20 www.countytrak.infotrakresearch.com Introduction Kenyans overwhelmingly ushered in our current constitution on the promise of devolution which they felt result in increased grass root access to resources and political power. Indeed people’s expectations of county governments continue to be extremely high. While most county governments tend appreciate this fact and try to capitalise on low hanging fruits as soon as they kick off, others prefer to spend the nascent stages laying the ground work and planning elaborately for delivery. Irrespective of leadership styles may differ, what is critical is for people to feel the impact of devolution in their daily lives. County governments need to fully decipher the perceptions of their residents and develop strategies that are concomitant with their expectations. It’s against this back drop that Infotrak Research developed the CountyTrakTM Performance index to provide Citizens’ Scorecard of their County governments against set key performance indicators. The CountyTrak Methodology “The Index will be the first of its kind and magnitude in Kenya. It provides an excellent baseline from which other evaluation tools can be developed and more importantly provides the county governments and other interested stakeholders with robust statistics by ward on the perception of county residents over county governments’ performance of the devolved functions.” • Our current index was conducted between October–December 2019 and January 2020 covering all the 47 counties, 290 constituencies and 1450 wards with an overall sample of 37,600. Each county was treated as an individual universe and assigned a cluster sample which ranged between 600 and 2000 respondents guided by the population and number of wards in the respective counties. Within each county, sampling frames were designed using population proportionate to size guided by census data and catered for demographics such as age, gender etc. Data was collected through Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) and analysed using SPSS. • The CountyTrak tool consisted of twelve core functions with thirty three key performance indicators and five approval rating questions. The functions included: Agriculture, Health, Education, Roads & Transport, Energy, Water management, Environment & natural resources management, Trade & Tourism, County Planning & Development, Housing, Lands & settlement, Culture & Sports and Social Services. • The final questionnaire was structured with using 1-10 Likert scale being applied on each indicator where 1 was very poor and 10 was excellent. The mean was computed for each Sub- Indicator of the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to get the Index for that Specific KPI. The Overall County performance Index was then computed by taking the average of the KPIs. For the governor’s performance rating we asked ; “How would rate the overall performance of your governor since their election in 2017? ” The County Functions covered ROADS & AGRICULTURE HEALTH EDUCATION TRANSPORT ENVIRONMENT WATER & NATURAL TRADE AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT RESOURCES TOURISM MANAGEMENT COUNTY HOUSING, CULTURE & SOCIAL PLANNING & LANDS & SPORTS SERVICES DEVELOPMENT SETTLEMENT OTHER KEY FUNCTIONS Under the other key functions, we included the following: • Making it difficult for people to access hard drugs (bhang, khat, illicit brews, etc.) and pornography? (i.e. licensing, enforcement, registration etc..) • Ensuring county government services are available in your ward • Preventing corruption (i.e. zero tolerance to corruption and taking action on alleged corruption cases) SAMPLE (N) FOR EACH COUNTY Margin of Error Margin of Error CountyTrak Sample per CountyTrak Sample per County @ 95% degree of County @ 95% degree of County (n) County (n) confidence confidence NAIROBI 2000 ±2.2% NYERI 800 ±3.5% KAKAMEGA 1500 ±2.5% SIAYA 800 ±3.5% KIAMBU 1500 ±2.5% TURKANA 800 ±3.5% NAKURU 1200 ±2.8% UASIN GISHU 800 ±3.5% BUNGOMA 1000 ±3.1% WAJIR 800 ±3.5% KISII 1000 ±3.1% BOMET 600 ±4% MERU 1000 ±3.1% ELGEYO MARAKWET 600 ±4% BARINGO 800 ±3.5% EMBU 600 ±4% BUSIA 800 ±3.5% ISIOLO 600 ±4% GARISSA 800 ±3.5% KAJIADO 600 ±4% HOMA BAY 800 ±3.5% KIRINYAGA 600 ±4% KERICHO 800 ±3.5% KWALE 600 ±4% KILIFI 800 ±3.5% LAIKIPIA 600 ±4% KISUMU 800 ±3.5% LAMU 600 ±4% KITUI 800 ±3.5% MARSABIT 600 ±4% MACHAKOS 800 ±3.5% NYANDARUA 600 ±4% MAKUENI 800 ±3.5% SAMBURU 600 ±4% MANDERA 800 ±3.5% TAITA TAVETA 600 ±4% MIGORI 800 ±3.5% TANA RIVER 600 ±4% MOMBASA 800 ±3.5% THARAKA-NITHI 600 ±4% MURANGA 800 ±3.5% TRANS NZOIA 600 ±4% NANDI 800 ±3.5% VIHIGA 600 ±4% NAROK 800 ±3.5% WEST POKOT 600 ±4% NYAMIRA 800 ±3.5% TOTAL 37,600 HAS DEVOLUTION 73% THINGS BETTER THAN MADE A DIFFERENCE?

    Kenya General Elections, 2017

    FINAL REPORT REPUBLIC OF KENYA General Elections 2017 REPUBLIC OF KENYA European Union Election Observation Mission FINAL REPORT General Elections 2017 January 2018 This report contains the findings of the EU Election Observation Mission (EOM) on the general elections 2017 in Kenya. The EU EOM is independent from the European Union’s institutions, and therefore this report is not an official position of the European Union. KEY CONCLUSIONS OF THE EU EOM KENYA 2017 1. The Kenyan people, including five million young people able to vote for the first time, showed eagerness to participate in shaping the future of their country. However, the electoral process was damaged by political leaders attacking independent institutions and by a lack of dialogue between the two sides, with escalating disputes and violence. Eventually the opposition withdrew its presidential candidate and refused to accept the legitimacy of the electoral process. Structural problems and specific electoral issues both need to be addressed meaningfully to prevent problems arising during future elections. 2. Electoral reform needs to be carried out well in advance of any election, and to be based on broad consensus. The very late legal amendments and appointment of the leadership of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) before the 2017 elections put excessive pressure on the new election administration. 3. Despite efforts to improve the situation, there was a persistent lack of trust in the IEBC by the opposition and other stakeholders, demonstrating the need for greater independence and accountability as well as for sustained communication and more meaningful stakeholder consultation. There was improved use of technology, but insufficient capacity or security testing.

    GOVERNANCE ASSESSMENT KENYA: JANUARY 2013 – JULY 2016 Kenya: Governance Assessment GOVERNANCE ASSESSMENT Kenya: January 2013 – July 2016 Roland Ebole and Morris Odhiambo1 1 Introduction This report focuses on politically significant developments in Kenya from 2013, when the country held its first general elections under the 2010 constitution. The constitution is considered to have markedly enhanced protection of basic rights, significantly constrained executive power, and provides limited devolution of powers across 47 newly created county governments.2 In 2013, Kenya held its first general election under the 2010 constitution. Kenyans cast their votes for president, national and county-level representatives, female representatives to the National Assembly, and governors. With 50.5% of the vote, Uhuru Kenyatta of the National Alliance (TNA), backed by the Jubilee Alliance, won the presidency. His opponent, Raila Odinga of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), backed by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD), was second with 43.7%. The election of governors and local assemblies strengthened the position of county governments. Female representatives to the National Assembly were elected in all 47 counties3 while 16 more were nominated to the Senate.4 Following the vote, CORD and a civil society organization (CSO) challenged the outcome of the presidential election at the Supreme Court,5 which had only 14 days to consider their petition under the constitution.6 Moreover, the pay scale for members of parliament set by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission was rejected by legislators, forcing the SRC to approve higher salaries.7 Implementation of the constitution and additional reforms continued, including the vetting of police officers by the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) and scrutiny of judges and magistrates by the Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board (JMVB).
