In this article, we document for you a list of all pioneer governors and their deputies in Kenya. Pioneer governors and their deputies were the first county heads administrators to be elected under the new 2010 constitution. The devolution chapter came into effect after very many years under the national government system which had been around for a long. The new system was seen by many as inclusive, equitable and accessible to all.
This new system took both legislative and executive powers to the counties hence making them small countries and the governors being the “presidents” there. This below is a list of all the pioneer governors together with their deputies in Kenya.
