  • Land Degradation Monitoring Programme of the National
    LAND DEGRADATION MONITORING PROGRAMME OF THE NATIONAL ENVIRONlMENT AND HUMAN SETTLEMENTS SECRETARIAT MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES KIAMBU DISTRICT, T KENYA HE FIRST PILOT STUDY (Preliminary Report) Laurence A. Lewis Clark University/NEHSS with assistance 7r)m G. Kamau/NEHSS aid R.C. Cheruiyot/NEHSS September, 1982 Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, ETMA Program (AID/afr-C-1697) and The Government of Kenya OBJECTIVES This pilot study, begun in July, 1981, is the first stage in developing a methodology to provide basic information on soil erosion to planners, district officials and operating ministries in Kenya. The results of this programme will provide some of the crucial environmental data that will help NES to exe­ cute its mandate to monitor the state of the national environment. The speci­ fic objectives of the Erosional Monitoring Programme are to: - develop a methodology that can rapidly be applied and used in the diverse environmental settings found throughout Kenya; - quantify the amount of erosion occurring in rural areas; - identify the general rural environmental settings in which erosion is a major problem; - develop a simulation technique to determine if proposed activities will be deleterious to the existing land resource base, and, if so, what changes in land use plans might be suggested to minimize negative impact; and, - this should help the NEHSS to suggest priorities for remedial action and appropriate strategies to use. As one intent of the Secretariat is to make this infcrmation available to any ministry concerned with ameliorating land degradation; the data provided will be in a format that can be utilized in designing general safe criteria for land use planning as well as for legislative purposes.

It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules x The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

  • Kenya 2020 Human Rights Report
    KENYA 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kenya is a republic with three branches of government: an executive branch, led by a directly elected president; a bicameral parliament consisting of the Senate and National Assembly; and a judiciary. In the 2017 general elections, the second under the 2010 constitution, citizens cast ballots for president, deputy president, and parliamentarians, as well as county governors and legislators. International and domestic observers judged the elections generally credible, although some civil society groups and the opposition alleged there were irregularities. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission declared Jubilee Coalition Party candidate Uhuru Kenyatta had won re-election as president over opposition candidate Raila Odinga. The Supreme Court subsequently annulled the results for president and deputy president, citing irregularities, and the court ordered a new vote for president and deputy president that the opposition boycotted. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission declared President Kenyatta winner of the new vote, and the Supreme Court upheld the results. The National Police Service maintains internal security and reports to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. The National Intelligence Service collects intelligence internally as well as externally and reports directly to the president. The Kenya Defense Forces report to the Ministry of Defense and are responsible for external security but have some domestic security responsibilities,

  • Project: Proposed Dualing of Kenol-Sagana-Marua Road (84Km)
    Language: English Original: English PROJECT: PROPOSED DUALING OF KENOL-SAGANA-MARUA ROAD (84KM) COUNTRY: KENYA RAP SUMMARY FOR THE PROPOSED DUALLING OF KENOL – SAGANA – MARUA ROAD Date: March 2019 Team Leader: Z. TESSEMA, Chief Transport Engineer, RDGE.3 Preparation Team E&S Team Member: E.B. KAHUBIRE, Social Development Officer, RDGE4 /SNSC 1 PROJECT TITLE: KENOL – SAGANA – MARUA ROAD PROJECT PROJECT NUMBER: P-KE-DB0-037 COUNTRY: KENYA CATEGORY: 1 CATEGORY: 1 Sector: PICU Project Category: 1 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The Kenol – Sagana – Marua Road is part of the “Great North Road” from Mombasa, through Nairobi and on to Moyale - and hence to Ethiopia and Addis Ababa. It forms part of the 800km stretch between Nairobi and Moyale and is situated in the three counties of Muranga, Kirinyaga and Nyeri. The road starts at the junction with C71 (Kenol) and traverses through the trading centres of Makutano (Junction A2/B6), Sagana, Karatina before terminating at Marua (Junction A2/B5). 1.2. The existing road is a single carriageway to bitumen standards. It is a constriction – an impediment to flow of the high traffic experienced between Nairobi and Isiolo/Nyeri towns as well as other roads serving off shoot towns like Embu, Meru, Mwea, Kerugoya, Kutus, Kagio, Baricho, Kagumo,Mukurweini, Tumutumu among others that connect to this arterial road at various points. The road therefore requires upgrading to dual carriageway to absorb and serve this traffic and support the socio-economic growth of the area. The route from the Port of Mombasa to Addis Ababa, via Nairobi, Isiolo and Moyale, holds economic advantages for Kenya in her trade with Ethiopia.
