1. PerformersPerformers are politicians who work for the wellbeing of the nation and their people. They deliver what they promised to their people in the shortest time possible. 

More so, their development projects are great and will the shortest time possible to be completed. Their work is seen and no one needs to tell you what they have achieved.

2. CorruptKenyan politicians are mostly associated with corruption. There is no doubt we have many corrupt politicians than we have good politicians. Corruption is seen in many ways among politicians which include bribing voters and coming up with shady projects.   

3. Noise-makerThis is another category of politicians we can never miss in Kenya. That’s why we have a chief whip in parliament to regulate their motions. Noise makers are those politicians who talk a lot but do little. 

4. Attention seekersAttention seekers are politicians who want to be associated with great things. Such politicians are always around other great politicians loved by almost everyone. They think being around them and following them everywhere will make them good. It only makes them popular but not change them.

5. Silent killersSuch politicians don’t like political dramas and debates. They have always kept their deals clean. Such politicians will only come to the limelight when needed or when attending a crucial function.
