  • The Drowned Valleys on the Coast of Kenya
    THE DROWNED VALLEYS ON THE COAST OF KENYA. By H. L. SIKES, B.A., B.E., H.INST. C.E., F.G.S. In his report on the Geology of the East Africa Protectorate .(Col. Rep. Misc. No. 45, Cd. 3828, London, 1908), Mr. H. B. Maufe pomted out that the tidal creeks on the coast of Kenya, the rock floors of which are far below sea level, originated as land valleys, which are now •• drowned." He also indicated that the sub-aerial erosion which produced or rejuvenated these valleys must have taken .place subse• quent to the formation of the raised coral reefs of Pleistocene age which form the existing coastal strip including most of Mombasa Island. Although much is still obscure, light has been thrown in recent years on the oscillations of relative level between sea and land on .the .East African coast. Amongst the writings which bear on this matter are Stockley's report on the" Geology of the Zanzibar Protec• tora.te " (London, 1928) with the associated report on the" Palaeon• tology of the Zanzibar Protectorate " by various specialists (London, 1927), Monograph No. IV of the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow Univer• sity, containing various reports on geological collections from the coast lands of Kenya Colony made by Miss McKinnon W0011, and various papers and other publications recording the results of research work in other parts of the world on the relative level of land and sea during Quaternary times, the factors influencing coral growth, the solution of limestones by sea water and other phenomena. Borings carried out from time to time for the purpose of obtaining information relating to foundations for bridges and other structures, and to find water, have yielded evidence which is not without significance in the consideration of the history of these submerged valleys.

  • Death Traps at the Sea, a Call for Action by the President
    DEATH TRAPS AT THE SEA, A CALL FOR ACTION BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA The demise of Mariam Kighenda and daughter Amanda Mutheu at the Mombasa Ferry lifted the lid on the extent of malpractices and incompetence of state actors, particularly on safety standards. The Kenya Ferry Service Cooperation is a crucial link to South Coast and to the neighboring Tanzania. It has been operating since 1937 with management in private hands until 1989 when the government took control of Ferry. The ownership was formalized courtesy of a National Assembly Sessional Paper No. 3 of 1998. Government therefore owns 80 percent and 20 percent for Kenya Ports Authority. The state cannot therefore escape blame on the matter of gross incompetence and neglect of duty at the Service. The key business of Kenya Ferry is ferrying passengers and their property. Upon acquisition in 1989, the state purchased four new Ferries to improve service delivery. Three of these, MV Nyayo, Harambee and Kilindini, still operate in very worrying conditions. The service ferries 300,000 passengers and at least 6000 vehicles daily. There is thus a clear justification for enhanced safety standards. The Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA) is mandated to assess and certify the facility's security plan. This should be reviewed every four years, a requirement of the International Ship and Port facility Security (ISPS) code. However, a cursory glance into the reports of ferry disaster dairy points to a looming crisis: a. On October 26, 2015, eleven people were seriously injured in a stampede at the Likoni channel as hundreds of commuters scrambled to access the ferries.

Tales of the everyday city: geography and chronology in postcolonial Mombasa Zoë Goodman Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD 2017 Department of Anthropology and Sociology SOAS, University of London Abstract Grounded in ethnographic research conducted amongst Mombasa‘s small and heterogeneous Muslim population with roots in what is today the Indian state of Gujarat, this thesis explores the mobilities, insecurities, notions of Islamic reform and patterns of claims-making that circulate in the city. These themes are examined through the lens of ‗everyday‘ discourse and practice, paying particular attention to the multiplicity of dispositions towards time and space that inform these broader urban processes. The thesis describes Mombasan Muslims struggling with history and with the future.

How does the digital divide in access to communication technologies reproduce or counter pre-existing inequalities? This dissertation is based on 26 months of participant observation in Kenya since 2001, when I investigated the competition and economic precariousness found among art traders, exporters, and art-producing organizations and cooperatives. In this dissertation I focus on the recent effects of cell phones and the internet. To clarify the contemporary importance of mobile communication technologies for Kenyans working in the shadow of the coastal tourism industry, I discuss the history of social inequality in Mombasa, the consolidation of curio art traders and cooperatives in the port city, and Kenya’s political economy of ICT access. Following the removal of the roadside kiosks housing my initial sample of 2001, I investigated the strategies of small- scale art vendors as they struggled to survive economic change.
