A government is "the organization, that is the governing authority of a political unit," "the ruling power in a political society," and the apparatus through which a governing body functions and exercises authority. "Government, with the authority to make laws, to adjudicate disputes, and to issue administrative decisions, and with a monopoly of authorized force where it fails to persuade, is an indispensable means, proximately, to the peace of communal life." Statist theorists maintain that the necessity of government derives from the fact that the people need to live in communities, yet personal autonomy must be constrained in these communities.
Separation of Powers
Separation of powers, a term coined by French political Enlightenment thinker Baron de Montesquieu,[1][2] is a model for the governance of democratic states. The model is also known as Trias Politica.
The model was first developed by the ancient Greeks in the constitutions that governed their city-states. However, it first came into widespread use by the Roman Republic. It was outlined in the Constitution of the Roman Republic.
Under this model, the state is divided into branches or estates, and each estate of the state has separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility. The normal division of estates is into the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial.
Proponents of separation of powers believe that it protects democracy and forestalls tyranny. Opponents of separation of powers question whether it accomplishes this end, and point out the success of mingling powers in parliamentary democracies. Furthermore critics have pointed out that, regardless of whether it accomplishes the end of forestalling tyranny, it may slow down the process of governing, promote executive dictatorship and unaccountability, and tend to marginalize the legislature.[3]
No democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. Nonetheless, some systems are clearly founded on the principle of separation of powers, while others are clearly based on a mingling of power
A state of sufficient size and complexity will have different layers or levels of government: local, regional and national.When I was reading History in high school I was told the Government of Kenya is made up

Cabinet Stalemate
Its like power sharing is still a dream to be true as another day passed today without naming of cabinet even after promises by the the two Principals that this was supposed to happen today .So Kenyans to wait alittle long before the cabinet is named but views from Mashinani shows that Kenyas tired and they want to continue with their lives of paying taxes to government in order to make sure that next time the our Mps decide to pass a bill to increase their salaries there will be money to gather for that .
An in Rift Valley the oldest student to join STD 1 vowed never to return to his farm saying that he fears for his live he nows he lives in Eldoret showground and attends classes at Kapkenduiywo at Langas one of the areas that was seriously affected by post elction violence .Asked why he colud not attend classes at IDP he said that he will never sit on the floor with his celebrity status .
He asked the government to resettle him at Thika,Nairobi or Kawangware.

New Cabinet
Sort yourself out cause Ann is not coming back to Kenya to sort your shit he has Middle East problem to sort where his employer pay him to do.
With the re-emergence of hardliners we may find ourselves in what happened in Jan.
PNU are out there to frustrate the accord and ODM will not just watch this happen.
The fact that Kibaki stole the election is known even by STd1 kid but that is not important anymore for the sake of peace and tranqulity of Kenya we need to learn to give and take any thatis why Annan came to sort us from the shit we got ourselves into.
The cabinet need to be named today or then we can concentrate on more importance items on the Accord like Resettling the IDPs, Truth Justice and Reconciliation plus the histrorical Injustice.

From the Watchman Dailay Nation 10/10/2007

How can politicians, who are supposed to be more enlightened than ordinary folks, blame Lang’ata MP Odinga for the existence of the Kibera slums? poses Jim Webo. “The slums are a mere manifestation of the immense poverty ravaging Kenyans. And can anyone show me which constituency in Nairobi does not have a slum? What of the rural constituencies where people have no water, roads, food, or healthcare? Why aren’t the MPs being pilloried as well?”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Quite laughable, notes Robert Alu, is the attempt by critics of the ODM presidential candidate to depict him as the MP for Kibera, as was evident during the PNU launch. Robert adds: “Almost every Nairobian would be immensely happy and proud to own property or live in Langata constituency’s leafy Karen suburb, Hardy, Nairobi West, and so on. In fact, many Cabinet ministers live in Lang’ata. So, why were they lambasting Raila as if he is the MP for Kibera alone?”
