%X After close to 50 years of independence, Kenya shifted from a unitary-state to a quasi-federal state system. Devolution of political and economic power to Counties each with its own elected governor, assembly, Member of National Assembly and Senator, is at the heart of this concept. Kenya is a multi-ethnic society with communities moving and settling in Counties other than their ancestral homes. Against a background of competitive national politics synonymous with ethnic rivalries and exclusion, the study identified various forms of exclusion facing migrant communities at the sub-national level. Migrant communities face exclusion in social, political and economic spheres.
