Former Province in Kenya
Mount Kenya was found in the former Eastern Province (capital Embu ; click map to enlarge)
The Eastern Province (Swahili : Mashariki ) of Kenya was one of 8 Provinces of Kenya . Its northern boundary ran along with that of Ethiopia ; the North Eastern Province and Coast Province lay to the east and south; and the remainder of Kenya's provinces, including Central Province , ran along its western border. The provincial capital was Embu .
Overview [ edit ]
On 16 July 2009, the province was sub-divided into three sub-provinces, namely Lower Eastern with Machakos as headquarters, Central Eastern with Meru as headquarters, and Upper Eastern with Marsabit as headquarters; however, those changes never took effect due to the political wrangles in the Kenyan coalition government at the time. The sub-division of provinces was carried out in all seven provinces of Kenya , excluding Nairobi . As of March 2013 after the Kenyan general election, 2013 , the Eastern Province was subdivided into eight counties, namely:
