GOVERNANCE RATINGS IN KENYA
Governance refers to "all processes of governing, whether undertaken by a government, market or network, whether over a family, tribe, formal or informal organization or territory and whether through laws, norms, power or language."[1] It relates to processes and decisions that seek to define actions, grant power and verify performance.

In general terms, governance occurs in three broad ways:[citation needed]

In Kenya there have seen several studies to show that its a country without any respectable global rating in governance but really the questions Kenyans should be asking as a country are:
 * Through networks involving public-private partnerships (PPP) or with the collaboration of community organisations;
 * Through the use of market mechanisms whereby market principles of competition serve to allocate resources while operating under government regulation;
 * Through top-down methods that primarily involve governments and the state bureaucracy.
 * 1) Who rates globally on governance?
 * 2) Who funds such governance studies?
 * 3) For whose interest is the ratings done?
 * 4) How do these poor governance ratings affect kenya as a country?
 * 5) What are these governance rating?
 * 6) How easy is it to manipulate a governance rating by the countries which sponsor this rating?
