It was designed to promote transparency, accountability and effectiveness of any modern government. Although Kenya has legally adopted public participation in day-to-day government activities, challenges still cripple its effectiveness as documented by several scholars. Instead of reducing conflicts between the government and the public, it has heightened witnessing so many petitions of government missing on priorities in terms of development and government policies. Results show that participation weakly relates with governance hence frictions sustainable development. Theoretically, public participation influences governance efficiency and development, directly and indirectly, thus sustainable development policy and implementation depends on Public participation and good governance. However, an effective public participation in governance is has been fractioned by the government. Instead of being a promoter/sponsor of public participation, the government of Kenya has failed to put structures that would spur participation of citizens in policy making and other days to activities. This has brought about wrong priority setting and misappropriation of public resources; The government officials and political class interference ultimately limit public opinion and input effects on decision-making and policy formulation, which might be an inner factor determining the failure of public participation in Kenya. The study suggests the need for strengthening public participation by establishing an independent institution to preside over public participation processes.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Участие общественности направлено на повышение эффективности управления путем вовлечения граждан в процессы разработки политики, управления и принятия решений. Такой подход был разработан для обеспечения прозрачности, подотчетности и эффективности любого современного правительства. В статье показано, что несмотря на то, что в Кении законодательно закреплено участие общественности в повседневной деятельности правительства, возникающие проблемы по-прежнему подрывают эффективность такого участия, что было убедительно подтверждено рядом ученых. Вместо того, чтобы уменьшить конфликты между правительством и общественностью, нередко правительства упускают из виду этот аспект в рамках развития и формировании государственной политики. Результаты исследования показывают, что участие граждан слабо связано с управлением, что препятствует устойчивому развитию. Теоретически участие общественности прямо и косвенно влияет на эффективность управления и его развитие. Таким образом, политика устойчивого развития и ее реализация зависят от участия общественности и надлежащего управления. Однако эффективное участие общественности в управлении было ограничено правительством. Вместо того, чтобы инициировать и поддерживать участие общественности, правительство Кении не смогло создать структуры, которые стимулировали бы участие граждан в разработке политики. Это привело к неправильной установке приоритетов и незаконному присвоению государственных ресурсов. Государственные чиновники и вмешательство политического класса в конечном итоге ограничивают общественное влияние на принятие решений и формулирование политики. Авторы указывают на необходимость усиления общественного участия путем создания независимого учреждения, которое будет руководить процессами участия общественности.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>public participation</kwd><kwd>government</kwd><kwd>governance</kwd><kwd>sustainable development</kwd><kwd>institutionalization</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Кения</kwd><kwd>общественное участие</kwd><kwd>правительство</kwd><kwd>управление</kwd><kwd>устойчивое развитие</kwd><kwd>институционализация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bagozzi R., Yi Y.
