  • Transparency in Kenya's Upstream Oil and Gas Sector
    Beating the Resource Curse: Transparency in Kenya’s Upstream Oil and Gas Sector by Sally Lesley Brunton Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Political Science in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Ian Taylor March 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2018 Copyright © 2018 Stellenbosch University. All rights reserved. i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In 2012 Tullow Oil plc discovered commercial quantities of crude oil onshore Kenya. Additional commercial discoveries have subsequently been made and estimates suggest that Kenya’s oil reserves are substantial. Steps towards the development and production of these reserves are progressing and Kenya is thus preparing to become another of sub-Saharan Africa’s oil-exporting states. Nevertheless, experience has shown that the majority of these resource-rich states have succumbed to symptoms of the ‘resource curse’: economic and human development and growth has been hindered rather than helped and many of these states find themselves struggling to escape from the clutches of rent-seeking, bribery and corruption. In an attempt to determine how best Kenya might avoid the negative impacts of the curse this study examines various strands of resource curse theory.

  • France Will Move Surveillance Drones to West Africa and Is Holding Secretive Talks with U.S
    [France will move surveillance drones to West Africa and is holding secretive talks with U.S. officials in Paris this week as it seeks to steer international military action to help Mali's feeble government win back the northern part of the country from al-Qaida-linked rebels, The Associated Press has learned.France and the United Nations insist any invasion of Mali's north must be led by African troops. But France, which has six hostages in Mali and has citizens who have joined al- Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, is playing an increasing role behind the scenes.] BURUNDI : Burundi : la société civile déplore l'absence de la lumière judiciaire sur la mort du président Ndadaye ( Xinhua )/23.10.2012 La société civile déplore que les commanditaires de l'assassinat du premier président Melchior Ndadaye restent inconnus 19 ans après sa mort, a déclaré lundi Pacifique Nininahazwe, délégué général du Forum pour le Renforcement de la Société Civile (FORSC). S'exprimait en marge des cérémonies du 19ème anniversaire du décès du président Ndadaye auxquelles ont participé les plus hautes autorités républicaines dont le couple présidentiel, M. Nininahazwe a déploré le mutisme de la chambre de cassation de la Cour suprême sur ce dossier. Me Fabien Segatwa, de la partie civile, a demandé pour sa part que la chambre de cassation de la Cour Suprême se prononce pour établir les responsabilités dans ce meurtre et que le parlement s'en saisisse et propose la voie approprié à suivre pour que la vérité puisse éclater au grand jour. L'assassinat du président Ndadaye en octobre 1993 a été suivi par une guerre civile qui a duré plus d'une décennie avec plusieurs milliers de personnes tuées.

  • The Scramble for Votes in the 2013 Presidential Election in Western Kenya
    Open Access Library Journal Going against the Grain of Ethnic Voting: The Scramble for Votes in the 2013 Presidential Election in Western Kenya Adams Oloo Department of Political Science and Public Administration, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya Received 3 April 2016; accepted 17 April 2016; published 20 April 2016 Copyright © 2016 by author and OALib. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Political mobilization and voting patterns in Kenya have revolved around ethnicity since the re- turn to multi-party politics in 1992. Since then the contest in successive years has been largely confined to the five big tribes who together constitute around 70% of the population. These are the Kikuyu, Luhya, Kalenjin, Luo and Kamba in that order. But while the Kikuyu, Kalenjin, Luo and Kamba have in one election or another rallied overwhelmingly behind their kin, the Luhya have been averse to this trend. This was more so in the 2013 election when conventional wisdom dic- tated that the Luhya’s true to Kenyan tradition would rally behind the candidature of Musalia Mu- davadi. The results however proved otherwise. This article teases out the factors that have influ- enced the Luhya’s voting pattern generally in addition to specifically assessing the factors that ex- plain Mudavadi’s inability to galvanize the Luhya vote akin to candidates from the other four big tribes. Keywords Ethnicity, Elections, Politics, Running Mate Subject Areas: Politics 1. Introduction Kenya’s political system since the return to multipartyism in 1992 has largely been characterised by ethnic vot- ing.
