The opposition was also included in the survey and was ranked with a D grade of 47 per cent.
In a similar poll released in May this year, the Judiciary scored a B of 67 per cent while Parliament had a score of C (53 per cent) and the opposition dropped from a B of 62 per cent.
From the latest survey, the margin error was + or - 2.5 with the degree of confidence being 95 per cent.
The survey achieved a sample size of 1,700 respondents to represent the universe of adult Kenyans who were 18 years of age and above at the time of the survey.
InfoTrak conducted the survey from May 23–29 across all 47 counties and 8 regions of Kenya through computer-assisted telephone interviews.
Last Friday, a survey by Infotrak showed that a majority of Kenyans remain pessimistic about the impact of the bill on the current state of the economy, with only 13 per cent they believe the bill carries good fortune.
A majority of those polled said that the country is headed in the wrong direction, with key concerns being the high cost of living, punitive taxes, and unemployment, even as the National Assembly Finance Committee continues to gather public views on the Finance Bill 2024.
