The subject of the article is trade cooperation between Great Britain and Kenya in the context of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. The article characterizes the commercial cooperation of Great Britain and Kenya and discusses the trends existing in this field in recent years. The main threats to this cooperation that Brexit brings are presented, as well as the actions that states must implement to counteract the negative consequences of Brexit and the opportunities that Brexit potentially gives to deepening trade cooperation between countries. In addition, the political climate change that has occurred between countries in recent years, which has a significant impact on the implementation of economic cooperation, including trade, has been outlined. The purpose of the article is to present and evaluate the challenges that the countries face in the context of Brexit, which they must overcome in order to maintain and deepen trade cooperation. The main research problem is whether Brexit will weaken or accelerate trade relations between Great Britain and Kenya? The main hypothesis of the article is that Brexit causes great uncertainty about the future of trade cooperation between Great Britain and Kenya. However, it gives the opportunity to dynamize this cooperation, and Kenya can become a model partner for the United Kingdom within the concept of „Global Britain” promoted by London. Kenya’s positive development trends make it an increasingly attractive trading partner for Great Britain. However, Kenya wants to take advantage of the UK’s search for trading partners outside the European Union.

Despite the return in the Kenyan parliament to the bicameral model, the analysis of the legislation and its implementation in the system, show that the distribution of powers between the chambers suggests the adoption of a system of non-equilibrium bicameralism, where the dominant role is played by the National Assembly. Indeed, the competencies of the Senate have defined along the lines of federal-type stat Bicameralism in Kenya-Restoration of the Senate by the 2010 Constitution and its current role in Kenya’s constitutional order es, reducing the role of the second chamber to a caretaker function towards the counties (not arbitrary in nature), while significantly limiting its role within the legislature. In the current political situation, the powers of the Second Chamber are challenged from two sides. This is influenced by the National Assembly, as well as the executive branch of the counties, which is demanding broader autonomy. Thus, despite the bicameralism declared by the constitution, functional arrangements seem to be moving toward a unicameral model.
