Politicization, property and belonging in Molo, Kenya Abstract This thesis aims to explore the politicization of land in a local setting in Kenya. The purpose is to study how access to land is justified through histories about relational property and belonging. The notion of deep politics is used in order to suggest that these histories of property and belonging not only transform the meanings of land but also the meanings of politics. The empirical chapters describe how the ordeals of the high politics of the state—such as the creation of settlement schemes, the provision of landed resources, or the alteration of constituency boundaries—have given rise to local histories about how property and belonging are constituted. The findings of the thesis build on extensive fieldwork. The main empirical material consists of qualitative interviews with 129 persons, undertaken primarily in Molo. The interviews are complemented with ethnographic observations and archival sources. In policy and theory alike, land is usually treated as a purely economic resource, subject to property rights regulations of a technical, universal and decontextualized nature. Such assumptions have underwritten many large-scale land privatization reforms in the Global South. In contrast to such assumptions, this dissertation contributes to the literature on access to land in Africa by suggesting that even when property rights to land are generally accepted, they are also backed up by other claims, such as various histories of belonging. The idea that property rights, decades after titling-reforms, are both accepted and complemented with other notions of what constitutes legitimate access to land is an original finding of the thesis. This adds further complexity to the notion of property as inherently relational and potentially eligible for politicization. Additional light is hereby cast on why conflicts over land might not be solved but instead reinforced by land reforms. Key words: Property, belonging, politicization, land, histories, deep politics, Kenya Classification system and/or index termes (if any): Supplementary bibliographical information: Language English ISSN and key title: ISBN 0460-0037 Histories of land. 978-91-7753-567-6 Recipient’s notes Number of pages Price 266 Security classification I, the undersigned, being the copyright owner of the abstract of the above-mentioned dissertation, hereby grant to all reference sources permission to publish and disseminate the abstract of the above-mentioned dissertation. Signature:__________________________________ Date: 23-03-2018 Histories of land Cover art by Johanna Fjaestad Camino Primitivo I & Camino Primitivo Blanco, oil on canvas © Ulrika Waaranperä Malmö University, Department of Global Political Studies Lund University, Department of Political Science ISBN 978-91-7753-567-6 (print) ISBN 978-91-7753-568-3 (pdf) ISSN 0460-0037 Printed in Sweden by All Media Öresund Malmö 2018 Paul Auster writes that every book is the result of somebody’s solitude. These pages took solitude to happen. But the support, insight and sometimes hard work of others was necessary in order to allow me to sit in solitude and write them. First, I need to thank the Moloites. In these pages, they figure as a collective or under pseudonyms, made necessary by the volatile times under which I insisted on discussing matters of land, politics and history with them. Yet, every one of them has contributed crucially to this thesis. For this, I am ever grateful; asanteni sana, nĩ ngatho mũno, koonkoy miising'. With patience, friendship and language skills, Scholar Waititu, Grara Jepleting, Begotty Chepkorir and Lilian Jerono all greatly facilitated my fieldwork by acting as research assistants. As a translator, cultural broker, co-analyst and discussion-partner, Lucy Njeri has been invaluable. Her initiated knowledge of Kenyan politics and her interest in Kenyan histories has greatly challenged and inspired my thinking. These pages would not have been the same without her. Dr Akaranga, Dr Ndhovu and Silvia Sitawa at the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Nairobi University assisted me with both formal and informal matters. The Government of Kenya and The National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation kindly granted a research permit for this study. The Nordic Africa Institute, Lars Hiertas minnesfond, Stiftelsen Karl Staaffs fond and Per Westlings minnesfond generously funded parts of the research. Åke Uthas and employees at the Ministry of Lands in Nairobi patiently took time to provide me with material, which I have not been able to make full use of in this text. Staff at the Kenya Land Alliance, National Council of Churches in Kenya, and at the National Network for IDPs and Internal Displacement Policy and Advocacy Centre (IDPAC) generously shared their detailed knowledge about matters of land, politics and history. Malena Kjellstrand taught me how to make maps. Johanna Fjaestad kindly granted me permission to use her paintings for the cover. Heather Stacey assisted with editing. All the institutions and individuals named above deserve my thanks. Colleagues and students at two institutions, Global Political Studies, Malmö University and Political Science Department, Lund University, have been crucial for the coming into being of this thesis. I would especially like to mention Sandra Engstrand, Josef Chaib, Emil Persson, Ioana Bunescu, Linn Ehde, Ivan Gusic, Jacob Lind, Mats Fred and Linda Åhäll, with whom I have periodically shared office spaces and the everyday pains and pleasures of writing. Annika Björkdahl, Maja Povrzanović Frykman, Catia Gregoratti, Fabio Cristiano and Ivan Gusic carefully read and offered insightful comments on an earlier draft of this thesis. Klas Nilsson, Johan Lundin and Ann-Charlotte Ek kindly did the same on separate chapters. Special thanks also to my supervisors: Patrik Hall for always stepping in at the right moment to advise me on what to do or to explain what I was already doing. We often speak of persons as ‘understanding’, but as my co- supervisor, Kristina Jönsson has impersonated this word. Her understanding of the journey doctoral studies entails has been invaluable. My second co-supervisor, Anders Sjögren, has not only been a meticulous reader, but his never-resting interest for matters Kenyan has been ever inspiring. To be able to read, write and think, we need numerous other things, some of which were provided to me by the always-helpful librarians at Orkanen library and the forthcoming staff at IT and facility services, including the friendly cleaning staff at level 10. Last for my loved ones. Friends and extended families; you know who you are. Thank you! My mum Inger and dad Bertil for your endless support (even though my interests were always different). Gull-Britt and Bengt for being such dedicated grandparents to our children. Heikki and Amina; you are still small children but very potent teachers of the things in life which are important.

    CHAPTER ONE TRIBAL CLASHES IN THE RIFT VALLEY PROVINCE Tribal clashes in the Rift Valley Province started on 29th October, 1991, at a farm known as Miteitei, situated in the heart of Tinderet Division, in Nandi District, pitting the Nandi, a Kalenjin tribe, against the Kikuyu, the Kamba, the Luhya, the Kisii, and the Luo. The clashes quickly spread to other farms in the area, among them, Owiro, farm which was wholly occupied by the Luo; and into Kipkelion Division of Kericho District, which had a multi-ethnic composition of people, among them the Kalenjin, the Kisii and the Kikuyu. Later in early 1992, the clashes spread to Molo, Olenguruone, Londiani, and other parts of Kericho, Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu and many other parts of the Rift Valley Province. In 1993, the clashes spread to Enoosupukia, Naivasha and parts of Narok, and the Trans Mara Districts which together then formed the greater Narok before the Trans Mara District was hived out of it, and to Gucha District in Nyanza Province. In these areas, the Kipsigis and the Maasai, were pitted against the Kikuyu, the Kisii, the Kamba and the Luhya, among other tribes. The clashes revived in Laikipia and Njoro in 1998, pitting the Samburu and the Pokot against the Kikuyu in Laikipia, and the Kalenjin mainly against the Kikuyu in Njoro. In each clash area, non-Kalenjin or non-Maasai, as the case may be, were suddenly attacked, their houses set on fire, their properties looted and in certain instances, some of them were either killed or severely injured with traditional weapons like bows and arrows, spears, pangas, swords and clubs.
