Abstract

At inception, a vast majority of African leaders had no blueprint of managing presidential systems and had to make adjustments suitable for their cultural values. In Kenya, the country's first constitution of 1963 delineated immense presidential powers to whoever occupied that office. The powers included the notion of commander-in-chief of the armed forces (Government of Kenya, 1963). The office had symbolic trappings of the imperial court buttressed with the governor's administrative apparatus.
