In the first half the young women from Kaloleni attacked successfully, scoring three times through Rehema Mwachiro (1) and Mwanahalima Adam (2). Although Waa tried to change the game in the second half it was again Mwanahalima who scored and made it clear to all football fans that St. John’s were the justified winners of the 2014 tournament.

From Table Mountain, the city radiates out in easy scatterings across the olive, woody slopes as they plunge into the sea. But Cape Town is also home to about two million of the city’s 3.5 million people who live to the east in tin and wood shacks and social housing built on the collection of estuary dunes and baking sand flats called the Cape Flats. Most of them are black. Cape Town's beautiful, affluent centre is merely the wholesome end of the wide spectrum that describes South Africa's culture and its defining national trait as the most unequal country on earth. In his 2008 book “Thin Blue”, for which he spent 350 hours on patrol with South Africa's police, Jonny Steinberg describes the relationship The Olympian and his girlfriend woman killed by gunshots, there between police and criminals as seemed to have the perfect romance was also the killer's defense: that part "negotiated settlement," part – until he killed her.

  • A Street Named Bi Pendo,How to Write About
    A Street Named Bi Pendo By Carey Baraka “Memory is short-lived/And more important instead/That streets are well-laid/Flowing and uncongested.” — Jonathan Kariara, Naming Streets in Nairobi The main road that runs through Kisumu is called Jomo Kenyatta Highway. Named after the country’s first president, the road divides the town in a North-South axis that runs from Patel Flats (where it stops being Kakamega Road) to the State Lodge in Milimani. In fact, one might argue that it is the spine of the city, in the sense of it being the central nervous system and the other roads feeding off it. In other words, cut off this road from either end (at Kondele or at the intersection with Busia Road) and you have killed Kisumu. During the 2017 electoral period, Jomo Kenyatta Highway was the epicentre of several violent clashes between opposition supporters and police officers. A general election had been held on 8 August and the main candidates in the presidential election were the incumbent, Uhuru Kenyatta of the Jubilee Party, and Raila Odinga of the NASA coalition. On 9 August, as tallying was ongoing, Odinga announced that the elections database had been hacked and the results were being manipulated in favour of his opponent, and that the hacker had used the credentials of Chris Msando, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) ICT manager who had been murdered less than two weeks to the election. Odinga said, “What the IEBC has posted is a complete fraud . to give Uhuru Kenyatta votes that were not cast .

A Social History of Private Members’ Clubs in Colonial Kenya This thesis explores the institutional legacy of colonialism through the history of private members clubs in Kenya. In this colony, clubs developed as institutions which were crucial in assimilating Europeans to a race-based, ruling community. Funded and managed by a settler elite of British aristocrats and officers, clubs institutionalized European unity. This was fostered by the rivalry of Asian migrants, whose claims for respectability and equal rights accelerated settlers' cohesion along both political and cultural lines. Thanks to a very bureaucratic apparatus, clubs smoothed European class differences; they fostered a peculiar style of sociability, unique to the colonial context. Clubs were seen by Europeans as institutions which epitomized the virtues of British civilization against native customs. In the mid-1940s, a group of European liberals thought that opening a multi-racial club in Nairobi would expose educated Africans to the refinements of such sociability.

The game is played at amateur, semiprofessional, and professional levels with the players being divided into two groups, according to their on-field positions (forwards and backs). Forwards are roughly considered to be the ball conquerors and are responsible for the dispute of the ball both in static and dynamic moments of the game. They are involved in all the line outs, scrums and in most of the mauls and rucks. Therefore, they are required to have a group of characteristics that enables them to perform in these situations.

  • Improving Access to Justice in Kenya Through Horizontal Application of the Bill of Rights and Judicial Review
    Improving Access to Justice in Kenya through Horizontal Application of the Bill of Rights and Judicial Review Doris Matu* Abstract Article 20 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 states that the Bill of Rights binds all state organs and all persons. However, the extent to which natural persons and private legal persons can be held liable for human rights violations has become an issue. The courts have differed and provided mixed directions as to liability for human rights violations by private persons. Under the previous constitutional era, only decisions of public entities could be reviewed through judicial review. This article is an attempt to illustrate, with the aid of case law, the increased possi- bility for access to justice by the litigant in constitutional rights matters post-2010. We move from the previous era where human rights could not generally be sought against private persons to one where there is an attitude of acceptance, albeit a very cautious one, where rights can now be sought against any private persons. Also, there is hope for justice and a better society in general, if private bodies’ deci- sions can also be judicially reviewed. Private entities wield immense power over individuals and it is crucial to lift the veil of privacy and go to the root of the matter by evaluating their decision-making processes. I. Introduction Horizontal application of the Bill of Rights has been defned as the con- cept of constitutional law that determines the regulation of relations between private individuals.1 Companies and other non-governmental actors have the ca- * The author is a post-graduate student of Law at the Kenya School of Law.
