  • The Policies and Politics of University Education in Kenya, 1949-2002
    FROM COLONIAL ELITISM TO MOI'S POPULISM: THE POLICIES AND POLITICS OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN KENYA, 1949-2002 Michael Mwenda Kithinji A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2009 Committee: Apollos Nwauwa, Advisor Kefa M. Otiso Graduate Faculty Representative Lillian Ashcraft-Eason Douglas Forsyth © 2009 Michael Mwenda Kithinji All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Apollos O Nwauwa, Advisor This study explores the evolution of policies on access to university education in Kenya between 1949 and 2002. The process of democratizing access during the period under study proceeded unevenly due to the changing economic and political dynamics that conversely affected the university policies. The first twenty years of university experience in East Africa, between 1949 and 1969, witnessed very modest gains in access to university. During this period, the colonial inter-territorial policy severely limited access to university. The inter-territorial university policy was initiated by the British as part of the colonial reform efforts aimed at creating a new kind of imperial partnership with the subject people in the post-Second World War world. The implementation of the inter-territorial policy in East Africa led to the establishment of the University of East Africa with three university colleges of Makerere in Uganda, Dar-es-Salaam in Tanganyika and Nairobi in Kenya. Britain insisted on the inter-territorial policy in the late 1950s and early 1960s even when it was apparent that it planned to grant independence to its East African colonies territorially.

We lived to tell iii We lived to tell We lived to Tell is a book by the Citizens For Justice, which documents experiences of Kenyans who went through the infamous Nyayo House Torture Chambers. They tell harrowing stories of scary hounding by security agents, arrests, torture, jail and detention. Their experiences reveal an intolerant, oppressive and paranoid government that could not stand criticism. Surprisingly, the government’s flagrant disregard for the law and the blatant violation of the survivors’ and victims’ human rights happened in the glare and watchful eyes of the donor and international community. Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) supported the development and publication of We Lived to Tell.
