What are the roles of governor and senator in Kenya?

Answer 1

A senator, in my opinion, is to a county what a Member of Parliament is to a constituency. A county is a larger administrative unit to a constituency and as a matter of fact covers more than one constituency in geographical area.

The governors will be assuming powerful roles in as far as previous political positions are concerned. They will hereafter be the heads of the 47 counties established under the constitution and will have a more managerial role as opposed to legislative, as exercised by members of parliament.

In as much as the governor will be the administrative head of the county, the Senator will be the political head.

Answer 2

In Kenya, the governor is the elected head of a county government and is responsible for implementing county policies and overseeing the county's administration. Senators represent the counties in the Senate, the upper house of the Kenyan Parliament, and are responsible for legislative functions, including debating and passing laws that affect the whole country.
