performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The research focused on all the commercial banks
listed in the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The general objective of this research was to determine
how corporate governance structures affect the financial performance of commercial banks in
Kenya. The research was to determine how corporate governance structures affect the financial
performance of commercial banks in Kenya by answering the following research questions: Is
there a positive relationship between bank performances of the preceding year and frequency of
board meetings? Is there a positive relationship between the bank performances and the
percentage of Institutional investors share ownership? Is there a positive relationship between
executive compensation and bank performance? Is there a positive relationship between the ratio
of outside directors to total directors and Banks’ performance? Typically corporate governance
