Hello, I'm looking for valid JSON files for Kenya in three levels:

  1. Counties
  2. Constituencies
  3. Wards
    Everything I search throws an error of INVALID JSON FILE. Any help please?

@easadhi can you please elaborate more on this?

Should be easier to generate if you have the shape files. Use the mapshaper site
