I do appreciate your love, advice, encouragement, inspiration and company throughout this sloppy and hilly academic journey. I would not forget my little daughter Judy-Shanelle and little two sons Mitch and Ivor for their love, sensitivity and discipline throughout this period that declared Dad’s and Mum’s silence and at times the painful unpredicted absence from home. For my Dholuo speaking informants such as Mr Opiyo Ndege: May Nyasaye ogwedhu /ɲa:saje oɡʊeðʊ/; and for my Lunyore informants: May Wele abalabie /wɛ:ɭe aβaɭaβɪe/. May God Bless You. May all of you co-exist in peace and harmony as your languages do while enriching each other. iv TABLE OF CONTENT

It has not been previously presented to any other institution for academic award. I agree that this dissertation may be available for reference and photocopy at the discretion of MF Norwegian School of Theology 2 DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my daughters Secret Anyango and Glory Atieno, my son Emmanuel Ochieng, and to my wife Magdalene A. Nerima. 3 ABSTRACT Unity is a moral requirement in both religious and secular life. In a highly religious society, morals and values are much informed by the religious precepts. For traditional cultures, morality is by custom, and for secular cultures, morality is by reason, Moyo, quoted in Kim and Kim, (Kim and Kim, 2008, p. 66). Most African cultures today, moral issues are informed by both the religion they ascribe to, traditional culture which is still very strong and to some extend reason. The church has been accused of taking sides when a crisis arises, a time when unity is really needed. For example, during conflicts that are ethnic in nature, churches stand in solidarity with their ethnic side of affiliation.

They live mainly in Webuye, Chetambe Hills, Ndivisi (of Bungoma County) and the former Lugari District in the Kakamega County. Most Tachoni clans living in Bungoma speak the 'Lubukusu' dialect of the Luhya language making them get mistaken as Bukusus.

  • An Investigation of Language Maintenance Strategies Among the Maragoli Youth of Uriri Subcounty, Kenya
    Academic Research International Vol. 9(4) December 2018 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ AN INVESTIGATION OF LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES AMONG THE MARAGOLI YOUTH OF URIRI SUBCOUNTY, KENYA Nabeta K.N. Sangili¹, ²Nyandiba N. Carren and ³Sangai, E. Mohochi ¹Kaimosi Friends University College, ² Rongo University, ³Kibabii University, KENYA. ¹[email protected], ²[email protected], ³[email protected] ABSTRACT Uriri Sub County has a complex language ecology composed of Dholuo, Kuria, EkeGusii, Somali, Luhya dialects, among other languages. Some of these languages have been in contact for many years. It has been imperative that every community maintains their own language. Language maintenance is an integral part of any language survival, as espoused by UNESCO and ACALAN. UNESCO has extensively researched on language death, attrition and shift and reported that many indigenous languages across the globe are dying due to shift and disuse by the speakers, a situation that has been rendered dire. UNESCO has been of the opinion that every effort must be put in place, theoretically and in practice, to save dying languages and to maintain those that are surviving. Lullogoli, a dialect of Luhya, has been in contact with Dholuo for over 78 years and still shows signs of survival

  • Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis
    Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis by Timothy Birabi Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Adam Smith Business School College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow April 2016 ©Timothy Birabi i Abstract This thesis seeks to research patterns of economic growth and development from a number of perspectives often resonated in the growth literature. By addressing themes about history, geography, institutions and culture the thesis is able to bring to bear a wide range of inter-related literatures and methodologies within a single content. Additionally, by targeting different administrative levels in its research design and approach, this thesis is also able to provide a comprehensive treatment of the economic growth dilemma from both cross- national and sub-national perspectives. The three chapters herein discuss economic development from two broad dimensions. The first of these chapters takes on the economic growth inquiry by attempting to incorporate cultural geography within a cross-country formal spatial econometric growth framework. By introducing the global cultural dynamics of languages and ethnic groups as spatial network mechanisms, this chapter is able to distinguish economic growth effects accruing from own-country productive efforts from those accruing from interconnections within a global productive network chain. From this, discussions and deductions about the implications for both developed and developing countries are made as regards potentials for gains and losses from such types and levels of productive integration. The second and third chapters take a different spin to the economic development inquiry. They both focus on economic activity in Africa, tackling the relevant issues from a geo-intersected dimension involving historic regional tribal homelands and modern national and subnational administrative territories.

  • International Journal of Arts and Commerce Vol. 1 No. 3 1 the NEW
    International Journal of Arts and Commerce Vol. 1 No. 3 THE NEW CONSTITUTION AND TEACHING OF AFRICAN LANGUAGES: WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR KENYA Pamela M. Ngugi [email protected] Kenyatta University-Kenya Abstract Chapter 2, Section 7(3), of the Kenyan constitution, (The Republic of Kenya 2010) stipulates that the state shall develop, promote and protect the diversity of languages of the people of Kenya. Although this statement has no direct implication to the language of education policy in the Kenyan system of education, their implementation will largely affect the language policy in education. This paper explores ways in which the constitution can be used as a catalyst in the promotion, development and protection of African Languages and at the same time use these African languages as media of instruction in schools in Kenya. Introduction In 2010, the government of Kenya adopted a new constitution in which major changes were made in regard to the development, promotion and protection of indigenous languages. This, we believe was in keeping in mind that the promotion of linguistic and cultural diversity constitutes a wealth , not only of this composite country, but of the whole mankind. Indeed such a goal cannot be separated from the achievement of peace, development, solidarity, security and democracy. This action is also in line with the United Nation’s affirmation of protecting and promoting diversity, cultural identity and linguistic diversity. Considering the Kenyan language situation, this step can be considered as the right action that will lead to averting of the waning of the indigenous languages caused by lack of interest in these languages.
