INTRODUCTION The Devolution Committee examined the Commission’s Report and Draft Bill, as well as the Special and Supplementary Working Documents on Devolution of Power and the revised draft Bill on devolution of powers as required by the Constitution of Kenya Review Act, Cap 3A. The Devolution Committee was guided by the values, objects and purposes of review enshrined in section 3 of the Review Act, inter alia : • Promotion of people’s participation in the governance of the country through the devolution and exercise of power; • The respect for ethnic and regional diversity and communal rights, including the communities’ rights to enjoy their cultures and express their identities; • Establishment of a free and democratic system based on good governance and the separation of powers and checks and balances; • Promotion of accountability of public authorities. • Guaranteeing peace, national unity and integrity of Kenya in order to safeguard the well being of the people; and • Ensuring the provision of basic needs of all Kenyans through the establishment of an equitable framework for economic growth and equitable access to national resources. The Committee wishes to thank the Convenor, Hon. (Dr) Adhu Awiti, the Rapporteurs Hon. (Commissioner) Mutakha Kangu and Hon. (Commissioner) Prof. Wanjiku Kabira, the Draftspersons Messrs Peter Barrett and Jeremy Wainwright and the Committee members for their commitment, consistency and participation in the work of the Committee. The Committee had quorum for all meetings. The Committee is very grateful to the Secretariat, who included the following Programme Staff: Fidelis Wabwire Wangata, Menach Evans, Joyce Wamucii, Mary Chesire, Millicent A. Achieng’ and Tambirai Janda. They worked professionally and tirelessly to support the work of the Committee. 1.1 Committee Mandate The Technical Committee on the Devolution of Powers is established pursuant to regulation 49(4) of the Conference Regulations to consider any issue or theme arising from the chapter on the Devolution of Powers and the Commission Report. The Committee, comprising sixty members drawn from different categories of delegates to the Conference, widely and robustly debated inter alia, the following: • The constitution, functions and operations of governments at the various levels of government, with the aim of maximising the mutual checks and balances and securing their independence; • Principles of power sharing between national and devolved levels of government; 4 • Finance and Fiscal management; • The Senate • Intergovernmental relationships in the devolved set-up; • Linkages between the chapter on devolution and the other provisions in the draft Bill, and • Implementation of the proposed devolution system of government. 1.2 Method of Work The Conference Regulations and the Rapporteur-General’s Guidelines for the National Constitutional Conference ad hoc and Technical Working Committees guided the Committee proceedings. The convenor chaired the debates and the questions arising thereof. The Rapporteurs took the Committee through the National Report, the people’s views on devolution, relevant technical working papers, recommendations of the Commission, the views of the Conference expressed during the general debate in the Bomas I and II sessions, the Special and Supplementary Working Documents on Devolution of Powers. The Rapporteurs explained to the members the rationale behind the provisions in the statutory and relevant working documents and generally ensured the availability of technical and logistical support for the Committee. The Committee was assigned a draftsperson. The Committee was also served by a small secretariat consisting of Programme Staff, a clerk, Hansard Reporter and support staff. Local and international observers monitored the proceedings. As agreed by the Steering Committee of the Conference, the first hour of most sessions was committed to general comments on the items on the day’s agenda by members of the Committee as well other delegates from other Committees wishing to make any contributions on the same. The Committee proceeded in line with its adopted work plan on a policy level. Subsequently, consideration of the Draft Bill on an article-by-article basis followed. The Committee as far as possible made decisions by consensus. Most devolution provisions have been mainstreamed in the Revised Zero Draft, and are therefore part of other chapters as well, other than chapter fourteen on Devolved Governments. The Committee faced a number of challenges: The sad, tragic and brutal killing of the Committee’s first Convenor, the late Dr. Crispin Odhiambo Mbai interrupted the steadfast and focussed committee progress. Members were deeply touched by the sad loss but reaffirmed their commitment, focus and dedication to the steadfast progress of the Committee work. The Committee begun its deliberations without the draft Bill on the Devolution Chapter and had to proceed for some time on the basis of the Commission Main Report and the Special Working Document on Devolution of Powers. Questions of linkages of Devolution provisions with other Chapters of the draft Bill were myriad. The Committee made various suggestions on such issues. The Committee hopes that the relevant Technical Working 5 Committees and the Committee of this House will find these recommendations useful and will accept them. 1.3 Role of Experts The Committee invited various experts to address the Committee on various needs, among them the following: financial and fiscal aspects of devolution, distribution of functions between and among the various levels of government, and the cost benefit analysis of the proposed devolution structure. Members noted that a section of the public was opposed to devolution of powers on grounds that the proposed devolution structure would be too expensive to implement. The Committee however found considerable information and evidence to the contrary. The experts who addressed the Committee included Mr. Julius Kipng’etich, Prof. Peter Wanyande, Mr. Nicholas T. T. Simiyu, Mr. Joseph Oyula, Mr. Gilbert Wangalwa and Mr. Willie Samute, the Permanent Secretary, Department of Local Government in the Office of the President, Republic of Malawi. 1.4 Study Visit The Committee visited the Kilifi District Development Programme (KDDP) projects for a first-hand experience of self-governance at the village level. The lessons learnt from the visit greatly enriched the deliberations and informed the decisions on the location government, as well as the accommodation of villages in the context of the devolved set-up. The Committee is grateful to the German Technical Co-operation agency (GTZ) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for arranging and funding the Study Visit. 2. COMMITTEE DEBATE The Committee debated the Commission Report. It considered various efforts at devolution by the Independence Constitution, the current Constitution and other reforms such as the local government reform initiatives spearheaded by the Association of Local Government Authorities of Kenya (ALGAK) and the Ministry of Local Government. It examined how selected countries

  • Kenya Election History 1963-2013
    KENYA ELECTION HISTORY 1963-2013 1963 Kenya Election History 1963 1963: THE PRE-INDEPENDENCE ELECTIONS These were the last elections in pre-independent Kenya and the key players were two political parties, KANU and KADU. KADU drew its support from smaller, less urbanized communities hence advocated majimboism (regionalism) as a means of protecting them. KANU had been forced to accept KADU’s proposal to incorporate a majimbo system of government after being pressured by the British government. Though KANU agreed to majimbo, it vowed to undo it after gaining political power. The majimbo constitution that was introduced in 1962 provided for a two-chamber national legislature consisting of an upper (Senate) and lower (House of Representative). The Campaign KADU allied with the African People’s Party (APP) in the campaign. KANU and APP agreed not to field candidates in seats where the other stood a better chance. The Voting Elections were marked by high voter turnout and were held in three phases. They were widely boycotted in the North Eastern Province. Violence was reported in various parts of the country; four were killed in Isiolo, teargas used in Nyanza and Nakuru, clashes between supporters in Machakos, Mombasa, Nairobi and Kitale. In the House of Representative KANU won 66 seats out of 112 and gained working majority from 4 independents and 3 from NPUA, KADU took 47 seats and APP won 8. In the Senate KANU won 19 out 38 seats while KADU won 16 seats, APP won 2 and NPUA only 1. REFERENCE: NATIONAL ELECTIONS DATA BOOK By Institute for Education in Democracy (published in 1997).

  • Newspaper Visibility of Members of Parliament in Kenya*
    Journalism and Mass Communication, ISSN 2160-6579 D July 2012, Vol. 2, No. 7, 717-734 DAVID PUBLISHING Newspaper Visibility of Members of Parliament in Kenya* Kioko Ireri Indiana University, Bloomington, USA This research investigates variables that predicted news coverage of 212 members of parliament (MPs) in Kenya by four national newspapers in 2009. The 10 variables examined are: ordinary MP, cabinet minister, powerful ministry, parliamentary committee chairmanship, seniority, big tribe identity, major party affiliation, presidential ambition, commenting on contentious issues, and criticizing government. Findings indicate that commenting on contentious issues, criticizing government, cabinet minister, ordinary MP, powerful ministry, and seniority significantly predicted visibility of the parliamentarians in newspaper news. However, a multiple regression analysis shows that the strongest predictors are commenting on contentious issues, cabinet minister, criticizing government, and big tribe identity. While commenting on controversial issues was the strongest predictor, major party identification and committee leadership were found not to predict MPs’ visibility. Keywords: Kenya, members of parliament (MPs), newspapers, newspaper visibility, politicians, visibility, visibility predictor Introduction Today, the mass media have become important platforms for the interaction of elected representatives and constituents. Through the mass media, citizens learn what their leaders are doing for them and the nation. Similarly, politicians use the media to make their agendas known to people. It is, thus, rare to come across elected leaders ignorant about the importance of registering their views, thoughts, or activities in the news media. In Kenya, members of parliament have not hesitated to exploit the power of the mass media to its fullest in their re-election bids and in other agendas beneficial to them.

  • Chapter One Introduction
    Chapter One Introduction Imagine trying to cover Northern Ireland‟s troubles without using the words „Protestant‟ or „Catholic‟. Or reporting Iraq without referring to „Shias‟ and „Sunnis‟. The attempt would be absurd, the result unfathomable. And yet, in Kenya‟s post-electoral crisis, that is exactly what much of the local media doggedly tried to do. When we read an account in a British newspaper of shack-dwellers being evicted from a Nairobi slum, or see on the BBC gangs attacking inhabitants in the Rift Valley, we are usually told whether these are Kikuyus fleeing Luos, or Kalenjins attacking Kikuyus. But, in Kenya, this particular spade is almost never called a spade. No, it‟s "a certain metal implement". The "problem of tribalism" may be obsessively debated, the gibe of "tribalist" thrown with reckless abandon at politicians and community leaders, but it is just not done to identify a person‟s tribe in the media. The results, given a crisis in which the expression of long-running grievances has taken the most explicit ethnic form, can be opaque. When Mr Maina Kiai, chairman of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, addressed displaced people in Eldoret earlier this year, he was booed and heckled. Kenyan media reported the incident without explaining why. The answer was that the displaced he met were mostly Kikuyus, and Kiai, a vocal Kikuyu critic of a Kikuyu-led Government, is regarded by many as a traitor to his tribe. Sometimes, the outcome is simply bizarre. When one newspaper ran a vox pop in January, one entry was meant to capture vividly the predicament of a 15-year-old girl of mixed parentage.
