Counties in Kenya came into effect in 2013 after the promulgation of the new constitutions and their map is exactly that of the original districts as they were before then.
Kenya today has hundreds of districts, which are smaller administrative units within a county. However, until recently, Kenya had only 47 districts under the provisional administration.
These original former districts were adopted to make counties. If you are doing business or traveling you will notice how fast these devolved units have changed the face of Kenya. With business and services being taken closer to people.
Here is the list of these counties and there codes
