  • Mrs. Amina Mohamed Cabinet Secretary of Education Kenya Email
    Mrs. Amina Mohamed Cabinet Secretary of Education Kenya Email: [email protected] File Reference: RP/SV Contact: [email protected] 21 May 2018 Your Excellency, LACK OF SOCIAL DIALOGUE IN KENYA Public Services International (PSI) brings together more than 20 million workers, represented by over 700 unions in 163 countries and territories. We are a global trade union federation dedicated to promoting quality public services in every part of the world. Our members, two-thirds of whom are women, work in social services, health care, municipal and community services, central government, and public utilities such as water, electricity and education. PSI observes a worrying trend in Kenya in relation to the Government’s capacity to encourage industrial democracy, harmony and declining to address emerging industrial issues raised by unions. In February 2017, we already addressed a letter to the Cabinet of Health in relation to the doctors’ and nurses’ strike. On Friday 2nd March 2018, the Kenya Universities Staff Union (KUSU), called its members to withdraw labour in a national strike against the government and 31 public university managements for failing to negotiate collective bargaining covering the 2017-2021 cycle. This is the result of months of fruitless meetings without any concrete outcome. We further observe that the Government of Kenya, through its various agencies, has not availed of the instruments put in place by labour legislation to amicably address and improve emerging union concerns before they snowball into a crisis. It is important to note that long strikes are not only detrimental to harmonious working relations but also for the economy at large.

  • 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.
