All the various heads of revenue show increases with the exception of Harbour Dues and s.s. "Tuba." The small decrease of £408 16*. 3d. under that item is due to the increased trade of the coasi, which has attracted the attention of the private shipping companies, and induced them to run their, own vessels in competiiion with the Government steamer. The most striking advance is that made by the Railway, which now shows a surplus of earnings over working expenses of £68,835 9^. M. The general increase of trade and the con­ tinued immigration of European settlers are responsible for this, and the same causes have swelled the revenue from Judicial Fees, Post and Telegraphs, and Sale of Lands, though the last item did not realize the sum estimated, owing to unavoidable delays in the Land and Survey Office, which prevented the completion of a numter of transactions in which areas had been applied for. The amount derived from Hat Tax continues to increase, and Game Licences (£7,000) also contribute even more than during 1904-5, large numbers of sportsmen having visited the country, particularly during the last half of the year. The total revenue from these and other sources included under the head of Licences and Taxes exceeds that collected in the previous year by no less a sum than £18,389 7$. A particularly gratifying circumstance is the advance in the proceeds of Government property, due, as it largely is, to the development of the important mangrove bark industry. Expenditure. 4.

Total 302,659 12 9 418,889 3 10 i35,3U 16 8 19,032 5 7 5. The expenditure for 1905-6 shows an increase of £116,279 lis. Id. over that incurred in the year 1904-5. This is mainly due to large amounts being spent on the Military and Public Works Departments (increaae of £53,334 5$. 6d. and £63,478 14s. respectively). Under the former head must be included arrears from the previous year in connection with the 2nd Battalion, King's African Rifles, and the erection of lines and provision of passages from British Central Africa for the 1st Battalion, as well as heavy expenses due to rearmament ; while the increase under Public Works is due to the extensive building pro­ gramme laid down, and to additions to the staff. This latter item, rendered necessary by the rapid development of the Pro­ tectorate and its greatly improved revenue-earning capacity, is mainly responsible also for increases under Administration (£2,489 18s. 9d.), Audit (£210 10s. Id.), Medical (£2,453 l«s. 6d.), Police and Prisons (£2,041 3s. 4d.), Port Office (£289 14s. 84>, mainly for Water Police), Posts and Telegraphs (£678 18s. 7d.), and Treasury (£631 14s. Id.). The Printing and Stationery Vote is greater by £645 Us. 9d. than in 1904-5. A new machine to replace the small obsolete presses previously used was purchased, and the staff vas increased. The Department is now able to meet the require­ ments of almost all Government Departments, with the exception of the Railway, which has its own press, A saving tfiAS* AFfctOA PfcOtBCtORAtfc, l905~d. 1 is thereby effected of a considerable sum previously expended in having forms printed in India or locally. The Transport Department cost £8,193 17s. 3d. more than in 1904-6. This schedule is always found to grow in propor­ tion to the general advance of the country, entailing as it docs an increased staff in almost every department, more efficient control of hut tax collection, and heavy expenditure in con­ nection with public works.

Modus Operandi of Oppressing the “Savages”: The Kenyan British Colonial Experience Abstract Colonialism can be traced back to the dawn of the “age of discovery” that was pioneered by the Portuguese and the Spanish empires in the 15th century. It was not until the 1870s that “New Imperialism” characterized by the ideology of European expansionism envisioned acquiring new territories overseas. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 prepared the ground for the direct rule and occupation of Africa by European powers. In 1895, Kenya became part of the British East Africa Protectorate. From 1920, the British colonized Kenya until her independence in 1963. As in many other former British colonies around the world, most conspicuous and appalling was the modus operandi that was employed to colonize the targeted territories.

Rogers Institute of Current World Affairs 22 Fifth Avenue New York 6, New York Dear Mr. Rogers The public Railways and Inland Marine Service of ast Africa, a] oerated by the Railways and Harbours Administration, are by far the rlncipal means of transport of the area. In 1992 they performed some I,98,60,O ton miles of freight haulage and some 6,,898 passenger orneys over ,O99 route miles of metre gauge railway and other routes. The present role of the railway is varie. At the outlying pointB it is rovidlng access to new agrlc,tural areas and to mineral operations. Along established lines it continues to bring in the capital equipment for development and the import goods in demand by the uropean, Asian and African population; but it also is serving increasingly as an economic integrator, allowing regional agricultural specialization so that each smal bloc of territory ned not remain fully self sufficient in food grains. The comparatively cheap*haulage to the coast of larger quantities of export produce, sisal, cotton, coffee, sod-ash, is a necessary facility for the expanding economy of .East Africa. The railway also gives mobility to labor in ast Africa, facilitating the migrations necessary for agricultural purposes and for industries denendent upon large numbers of African personnel. By providing longer heavier haulge services, the railways complement their own and other motor transport service; the natural difficulties of road building and maintanance being formidable in East Africa, it is usually accepted that truck haulage routes should be ancilary to the railway.

  • The Role of Faith in the Charity and Development Sector in Karachi and Sindh, Pakistan
    Religions and Development Research Programme The Role of Faith in the Charity and Development Sector in Karachi and Sindh, Pakistan Nida Kirmani Research Fellow, Religions and Development Research Programme, International Development Department, University of Birmingham Sarah Zaidi Independent researcher Working Paper 50- 2010 Religions and Development Research Programme The Religions and Development Research Programme Consortium is an international research partnership that is exploring the relationships between several major world religions, development in low-income countries and poverty reduction. The programme is comprised of a series of comparative research projects that are addressing the following questions: z How do religious values and beliefs drive the actions and interactions of individuals and faith-based organisations? z How do religious values and beliefs and religious organisations influence the relationships between states and societies? z In what ways do faith communities interact with development actors and what are the outcomes with respect to the achievement of development goals? The research aims to provide knowledge and tools to enable dialogue between development partners and contribute to the achievement of development goals. We believe that our role as researchers is not to make judgements about the truth or desirability of particular values or beliefs, nor is it to urge a greater or lesser role for religion in achieving development objectives. Instead, our aim is to produce systematic and reliable knowledge and better understanding of the social world. The research focuses on four countries (India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Tanzania), enabling the research team to study most of the major world religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and African traditional belief systems.
