  • VOTING with the SHILLING the ‘Money Talks Factor’ in Kenya’S Public Policy and Electoral Democracy
    92 DOI: 10.20940/JAE/2020/v19i1aDOI: 10.20940/JAE/2020/v19i1a5 JOURNAL5 OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS VOTING WITH THE SHILLING The ‘Money Talks Factor’ in Kenya’s Public Policy and Electoral Democracy Wilson Muna and Michael Otieno Wilson Muna is a lecturer of Public Policy at Kenyatta University, Nairobi Michael Otieno is a lecturer at the Kenya Institute of Surveying and Mapping, Nairobi ABSTRACT The influence of money in elections has become an important ingredient in determining electoral outcomes worldwide. The use of money in political activities has adversely affected the nature of public policy, governance, competition, the rule of law, transparency, equity and democracy. Although there are laws, policies and guidelines governing the use of money during elections, there is little political will to implement them. This paper examines how money, or the lack thereof, determines electoral outcomes in multi-party democracies with a focus on Kenya, employing both the hydraulic theory and the push-and-pull paradigm. The study found that in most cases, victory in elections follows those with money; in other cases, it is the potential for victory that attracts money from self-interested donors. The study calls on electoral bodies such as the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to honour their mandate and demand compliance with set laws and regulations in a bid to entrench governance and create a level playing field for contestants. Keywords: campaign financing; campaign spending; election money; electoral outcomes; Kenya; public policy INTRODUCTION The role of electoral campaign money in shaping public policy has become the new focus among policy analysts and political scientists.

  • Inspection Panel Report and Recommendation on a Request for Inspection
    Report No. 135477-KE The Inspection Panel Report and Recommendation On a Request for Inspection KENYA Transport Sector Support Project (P124109) and its Additional Financing (P146630) March 22, 2019 The Inspection Panel Report and Recommendation on a Request for Inspection Kenya: Transport Sector Support Project (P124109) and its Additional Financing (P146630) Summary 1. This Report and Recommendation responds to a Request for Inspection alleging harm from the construction of a highway interchange in Webuye, Kenya, financed by the World Bank. During its eligibility visit in March 2019, the Panel observed that the implementation of an Action Plan agreed with the community one year earlier to address many of the harms, was nearing completion. Community members expressed concern about whether all the actions would be fully implemented in a timely manner and added that certain livelihood impacts experienced by mobile traders and small business operators had not been reflected in the Action Plan. 2. Shortly after the Panel’s eligibility visit, Bank Management informed the Panel of its commitment to expand the terms of reference and extend the timeline of an existing Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) Audit to include the alleged livelihood impact not covered in the agreed Action Plan. In light of this development, the Panel is deferring its recommendation as to whether an investigation is warranted. The Panel will reassess the situation once these actions are implemented and will inform the Board of its recommendation within a period not exceeding six months. A. Introduction 3. On December 17, 2018, the Inspection Panel (the “Panel”) received a Request for Inspection (the “Request”) of the Transport Sector Support Project and its Additional Financing (the “Project”) in Kenya.

For making do with telephone parenting. i Acknowledgements In my childhood days, my dreams and interest in pursuing doctoral studies were silently nur- tured as I listened to stories of, and admired the persona of Prof. Wangari Maathai. She was the most educated woman in my home district, Nyeri-Kenya by then, a renowned environ- mentalist who would later be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. It was no wonder that when I joined Kenyatta University in 1994, I chose environmental studies as my degree course and continued with the same focus at master’s level in Moi University, Eldoret. My first major engagement, at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) was enriching. It is here that the debates on climate change came close to my mind. I had to sup- port programmes of adaptation to climate change in the water sector in Tanzania. I felt inade- quate beyond the managerial roles and thought that a PhD topic on climate change and adap- tation would equip me with better skills to be able to make worthwhile contributions to cli- mate change programmes. So, in 2008, through the support of Moi University, I gave up a promotion at IUCN to start my studies in Germany. Moi University had entered into a part- nership with University of Bayreuth to support a Graduate School of African Studies.

FAS/Nairobi estimates that the disease will reduce Kenya's estimated maize production by about 10% during the 2014/2015 marketing year. The Government of Kenya (GOK), and the national, regional and international research organizations have commenced initiatives to mitigate the spread and adverse impact on food security. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is providing technical support to the tolerance screening initiative, and capacity building for scientists under the Borlaug Fellowship Program (BFP). Maize Lethal Necrosis Maize Lethal Necrosis (MLN), also known as Corn Lethal Necrosis (CLN), is a result of a combination of two viruses, the Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and any of the cereal viruses in the Potyviridae group, like the Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) or Maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV). The first outbreak of MLN was reported in 2011 in Bomet County in the South Rift-Valley Region Kenya. The disease has since been identified in other counties in the main maize growing areas. The disease has also been reported in the other East African Community countries, as well as in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan and Ethiopia.
