Kenya’s Corruption Scandals, A case of Same Script Different Cast?0
- Corruption, Kenya

Or is it a case of same script, same cast with a few new extras? I think the latter describes the Kenyan scenario better if the front-page story on last Thursday’s Daily Nation is anything to go by? This story bears a striking resemblance to a story that was in the Kenyan press for months

Perhaps the growth being witnessed in Kenya’s

When Kenya passed a new constitution in August 2010, it was recognized the world over for taking a bold step in promoting basic human rights. The new constitution was commonly referred to as a “progressive constitution” by scholars and governance experts. Basic rights and liberties of the Kenyan Citizens are entrenched in the Bill of

I think this is right - of course people/parties are going to look for the cheap wins, but this is poorly judged given the problems we (and other jurisdictions) have had with xenophobic madness. twitter.com/GvanOnse…

I have watched a video where Mr. Museveni publicly expresses his intolerance for MP @MwijukyeFrancis for Buhweju, who subscribes to @FDCOfficial1. This kind of behaviour can only be traced back to the bush. It has no place in an inclusive society that Uganda deserves! #CaseOf1986

What implications for this and for #Big4Agenda? And what does "until ongoing ones are complete" mean? No new GoK projects till #SGR is done? twitter.com/NationBr…

This is quite problematic. Who gets to decide what is and what isn't an "African" thing to do? And what does "African" even mean in this context? The idea of cultural uniformity on the continent is quite mistaken as is the idea that culture is itself a limit on individual choice. twitter.com/dlakza/s…

I think this, while true, somewhat misunderstands what's in contention. No one has suggested the players somehow transformed into ethnic French (whatever that means). It's not really about identity, per se, but about who gets to instrumentalize it and appropriate their success. twitter.com/DavidLam…

Today in #Dumbassery... Compare the headline with what's literally in the first sentence: "Vettel said ... he is more concerned with trying to win his home German Grand Prix than giving any consideration to rival Lewis Hamilton's blockbuster two-year contract extension." twitter.com/dailynat…
