The provinces are subdivided into 71 districts (wilaya'at) which are then subdivided into 262 divisions (tarafa). The divisions are subdivided into 2,427 locations (kata) and then 6,612 sublocations (kata ndogo) [1]. A province is administered by a Provincial Commissioner (PC).
Kenyan local authorities mostly do not follow common boundaries with divisions. They are classified as City, Municipality, Town or County councils.
A third discrete type of classification are constituencies. They are further subdivided into wards.
