A large percentage of Kenyans trust governors more than the county assemblies, a new survey shows.
The research by University of Nairobi's Institute for Development Studies and department of Political Science says governors attract high confidence levels, with the trust ratings higher in rural counties and lower in the urban ones.
"A majority of Kenyans have a confidence in their county leadership and approve of their performance," IDS director Winnie Mitullah said.
The research, carried out on behalf of Afrobarometer, sampled 2,397 Kenyans between November 12 and December 5 last year. Sixty-two per cent of rural and 54 urban respondents expressed satisfaction with their governors.
County assemblies in urban areas scored 45 per cent and 54 per cent ratings putting the aggregate approval ratings for governors at 59 per cent and assemblies 51 per cent. The survey shows that performance governors stands at 61 per cent compared to 55 per cent of MCAs.
