Locations of Kenya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Locations of Kenya

Locations were a type of administrative region in Kenya. Locations are a third level subdivision below counties and sub-counties. Locations are further subdivided into sub-locations.[1] At the 1999 census there were 2,427 locations and 6,612 sublocations in Kenya.[2] It is rendered obsolete following the 2010 constitution.

Each division in Kenya was divided into some locations. Locations often, but not necessarily, coincide with electoral wards. Locations were usually named after their central village or town. Many larger towns consist of several locations.

Each location has a chief, appointed by the state.
