ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic and its containment measures have had tragic impacts on both peoples’ lives and their livelihoods, its far-reaching consequences have indelibly disrupted Kenya’s economy and businesses. Kenya ushered in a new political and economic governance system with the promulgation of a new constitution in 2010. Kenya’s County governments are relatively autonomous and are represented at the national legislature by the Senate. The Country’s capital city Nairobi is classified as county number 47. Tensions have arisen with undertones that Nairobi City County ought to be under the jurisdiction of the national government due to the strategic position as the capital city. One of the intergovernmental structural measures put in place to respond and cushion Kenyans from the adverse effects of the pandemic was the establishment of a National Coordination Committee on the Response to the Corona Virus Pandemic. The government has made a raft of fiscal measures to cushion citizens and businesses from the adverse effects of COVID-19 pandemic.
