  • Supporting Conservation and Local Tourism CABINET SECRETARY
    Supporting Conservation and Local Tourism CABINET SECRETARY FOR EAST AFRICAN AFFAIRS, COMMERCE AND TOURISM VISITS OLPEJETA CONSERVANCY By Victoria Nyamunga April 2014: Olpejeta House, one of the two Serena Hotels’ properties in Nanyuki (Olpejeta Conservancy) had the pleasure of hosting the Hon. Phyllis Kandie- who is the Cabinet Secretary for East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism. Hon. Kandie was on a visit that saw her inspect some of the conservation projects undertaken by the Olpejeta Conservancy. The Cabinet Secretary applauded the exceptional efforts being made to protect endangered wildlife in Kenya. She visited “Sudan”- one of the northern white rhinos and noted that even though the Ol Pejeta Conservancy may be doing it best to ensure 24hour protection for this endangered rhino species, Kenyans and the World at large still had a personal responsibility to conserve wildlife and nature. In her statement to the team present, the Cabinet Secretary made a rallying call to the rest of the world to visit Kenya. “Kenya is a peaceful and one of the most beautiful countries in sub-Saharan Africa” she said. Her message to Kenyans was simple, “this is our heritage, let’s get out there and enjoy it in all beauty and glory. Tembea Kenya.” The Cabinet Secretary also made a call to Kenyans to continue supporting local tourism. Serena Hotels support this call noting that tourism is no longer the second largest source of foreign exchange revenue and thus the urgent need for local tourism support. Whilst the Kenya Tourism Board for instance may be responsible for maintaining information pertaining to tourism and marketing Kenya as a tourist destination Kenyans must first support the Kenyan economy and promote its rich heritage.

  • Source Affiliations and Framing of the GMO Debate by East Africa's Nation
    Source affiliations and framing of the GMO debate by East Africa’s Nation Media Group Rebecca Randall A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies University of Washington 2014 Committee: Ben Gardner Patricia Moy Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Jackson School of International Studies © Copyright 2014 Rebecca Randall 2 University of Washington Abstract Source affiliations and framing of the GMO debate by East Africa’s Nation Media Group Rebecca Randall Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Ben Gardner, Chair of Africa Studies Program and Assistant Professor, Interdisciplinary Arts Jackson School of International Studies and University of Washington at Bothell A content analysis of the East African Nation Media Group newspapers’ framing of the GMO debate from 2010-2013 adds to the global studies literature on the transatlantic debate on GMOs. The GMO debate has been described as polarized between European and U.S. political approaches and further as influencing the way that Africans respond to this inherited debate. However, newspapers in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have unique approaches to reporting on GMO adoption and regulation that do not ignore transnational influences but does not necessarily correspond with characterizations of an “inherited” debate. In journalists’ reporting on GMOs in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, they encounter transnational networks of donors, foundations, governments, researchers, farmers and others spanning from the Global North to East Africa. Each approach is described as benevolent—a panacea for hunger and malnutrition or a preservation of Africa’s biodiversity and traditional indigenous agricultural practices. This misses the skewed power balance in these transnational networks, which privilege experiences in the Global North and outline the socioeconomic conditions that have led to poverty in sub- Saharan Africa in the first place.
