  • (Smes) in Gilgil Town of Nakuru County, Kenya
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 8, Ver. IV (Aug 2015), PP 109-115 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Socio-Economic Determinants of Performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Gilgil Town of Nakuru County, Kenya Kamau John Gathii1, and Mathew Mwangi Ngura2, Abstract: This study sought to establish the socio-economic determiners of performance of SMEs in Gilgil town of Nakuru County, Kenya. It adopted a survey research design involving SMEs in Gilgil town. Questionnaires were used as research instruments to gather information on variables of interest. The target population of the study included the 400 SMEs in Gilgil town registered with the County Council of Nakuru in the year 2012 and thereafter a sample size of 196 (49%) SMEs owners were systematically selected as respondents for the study. Data collected was coded and analyzed with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer programme. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentages and frequencies while the qualitative data derived from open-ended questions was analyzed according to themes based on the study objectives and research questions and there after inferences and conclusions were drawn. The study revealed that very few SMEs owners had obtained management training; most of them had only obtained secondary education; SMEs lacked access to financial resources and very few had integrated technology in their business operation. These shortcomings have adversely affected the performance of the SMEs in Gilgil town going by the low profits that they are making.

It does not represent a position from the United Nations. This report is posted on: http://ochaonline.un.org/kenya I. General Overview Development partners are insisting on the full implementation of the Waki and Kriegler reports to facilitate further development and put an end to impunity. Twenty-five diplomatic missions in Nairobi, including the US, Canada and the European Union countries have piled pressure for the implementation of the report whose key recommendations was the setting up of a special tribunal to try the financiers, perpetrators and instigators of the violence that rocked the country at the beginning of this year. The European Union has threatened aid sanctions should the Waki Report not be implemented. An opinion poll by Strategic Research Limited found that 55.8 per cent of respondents supported the full implementation of the report on post-lection violence. On 19 November, Parliament moved to chart the path of implementing the Waki Report by forming two committees to provide leadership on the controversial findings.

  • Kenyan Stone Age: the Louis Leakey Collection
    World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum: A Characterization edited by Dan Hicks and Alice Stevenson, Archaeopress 2013, pages 35-21 3 Kenyan Stone Age: the Louis Leakey Collection Ceri Shipton Access 3.1 Introduction Louis Seymour Bazett Leakey is considered to be the founding father of palaeoanthropology, and his donation of some 6,747 artefacts from several Kenyan sites to the Pitt Rivers Museum (PRM) make his one of the largest collections in the Museum. Leakey was passionate aboutopen human evolution and Africa, and was able to prove that the deep roots of human ancestry lay in his native east Africa. At Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania he excavated an extraordinary sequence of Pleistocene human evolution, discovering several hominin species and naming the earliest known human culture: the Oldowan. At Olorgesailie, Kenya, he excavated an Acheulean site that is still influential in our understanding of Lower Pleistocene human behaviour. On Rusinga Island in Lake Victoria, Kenya he found the Miocene ape ancestor Proconsul. He obtained funding to establish three of the most influential primatologists in their field, dubbed Leakey’s ‘ape women’; Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and Birute Galdikas, who pioneered the study of chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan behaviour respectively. His second wife Mary Leakey, whom he first hired as an artefact illustrator, went on to be a great researcher in her own right, surpassing Louis’ work with her own excavations at Olduvai Gorge. Mary and Louis’ son Richard followed his parents’ career path initially, discovering many of the most important hominin fossils including KNM WT 15000 (the Nariokotome boy, a near complete Homo ergaster skeleton), KNM WT 17000 (the type specimen for Paranthropus aethiopicus), and KNM ER 1470 (the type specimen for Homo rudolfensis with an extremely well preserved Archaeopressendocranium).
