Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Communications - Specialized communication, Moi University (education), course: m-ed, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show that a common language is one of the most important features of a diverse community. Human communication is based on features that describe an event and capture emotions, needs, interests and fears. Language is used to resolve or escalate dispute. Opara (2016) asserted that People from different culture and social units perceive the world through the lens provided by their distinctive languages. Meaning that language provides a repertoire of words that name the categories into which the language users have divided their world. In fact, definitions of words are linguistically, culturally and contextually bound. Words carry meanings that make sense to members of a shared social environment. Conflict resolution relies heavily on word choices. Here language is key to dispute resolution because it is the words human beings in the world use as an accelerator to harmonious living or existential war fronts. There is an assumption in Kenya that conflict is best resolved when people can speak in one ¿nativity¿, for instance, the kikuyu when faced with conflict can best sort out the issue in their native language because of the semiotics of the conflict. There is linguistic consistency where all the words used add value to the discourse.The researcher posits that in a country like Kenya, were national conflicts build from local dialectics, Kiswahili can be the unifying factor and a conflict resolution tool. Kiswahili as a trade language in Eastern Africa does accommodate the diversity of culture and language use. The paper explores the strengths of Kiswahili language in intercultural conflict resolution, and emphasizes the need to consider the uses of the language in national and transnational conflict resolution.

Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 7, University of Aarhus (Institute of Culture and Society), course: International Relations, language: English, abstract: Scholars agree that modern political democracies are almost impossible without vibrant, free and activist civil societies. In Africa, as in many other parts of the developing world, civil societies have arisen as a response to the dysfunction and despotism of the postcolonial state.Given the current political developments in Kenya, including a new constitution promulgated in August 2010 that has been applauded as being very progressive and with an elaborate chapter on Bills of Rights, and its continuing implementation, the relatively peaceful, largely ¿free and fair¿ general elections of March 2013 that KHRC monitored, it can be said that the organization has positively played a positive role in the last quarter of a century but there is still a long way to go for real democratic principles to be permanently enshrined among the Kenyan political elites and state institutions and as such KHRC must continue on its struggle to keep the various regimes that come into power on their toes and engage them on the way towards ensuring a strong and stable Kenyan state that is deeply rooted in democratic governance and that has accountability, transparency and respect for human rights. This thesis there seeks to examine how civil society, represented in this case study by KHRC have contributed to the increased democratic space in Kenya, and therefore be able to conclude whether civil society and NGOs contribute to democratization and democratic governance within the state.Scholars agree that modern political democracies are almost impossible without vibrant, free and activist civil societies. In Africa, as in many other parts of the developing world, civil societies have arisen as a response to the dysfunction and despotism of the postcolonial state.

En amerikansk forfatter og hans følge forsvinder under en safari i Kenya. Senere dukker Katherine Austin op, hun er blevet ansat som lærer men har tydeligvis en anden agenda. Det lykkedes hende at komme på sporet af hvad der skete med den forsvundne forfatter. Men der sker mange underlige ting i det afrikanske land ….

Sofie må igennem en helt nødvendig retssag efter sin ugerning. En retssag, som bringer hendes nærmeste endnu tættere sammen, bortset fra hendes mormor, som tager afstand fra det hele. I retten kommer det også frem, hvorfor hendes far har gjort og handlet, som han har.Sofies mor og storebror må gøre alt for at gemme sig for pressen, og samtidig opstår der en stor og ægte kærlighed imellem Sofies storebror, Victor, og bedste veninde, Maria.Efter udstået straf løslades Sofie, men hun trives ikke rigtig i friheden igen. Alt omkring hende minder om hendes far. Så Sofie og hendes mor beslutter sig for at tage på ferie i Kenya, hvor der bor et par af de kvinder, som Sofie lærte at kende under hendes tilfangetagen på Malta. Et ferieophold, som udvikler sig til meget mere end bare ferie, og de ender med at få opbygget noget forretning sammen med deres lokale venner og ønsker derfor at forblive i landet.Samtidig er kærligheden imellem Victor og Maria blevet så stærk, at Victor beslutter sig for at flytte over til hende og hendes forældre i Japan.Alt synes skønt og herligt, men inden i Sofie sidder hele tiden en dæmon fra fortiden.Denne bog bygger, lige som forgængeren, på ”virkelighedens Sofie”. Men hvor forgængeren, Når troen vinder, kikker bagud og delvis bygger på hendes frygtelige fortid, så er Kærlighed og dæmoner skrevet med kikkerten rettet fremad og udelukkende ud fra hendes tanker, drømme og frygt for fremtiden. Begge bøger er skrevet efter utallige interviews og med hendes fulde accept.Desværre nåede hun ikke selv at se det færdige resultat af denne bog, da hun besluttede, at hendes liv skulle ende primo 2022.

Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, Kenyatta University, course: MASTERS OF ECONOMICS (POLICY & MANAGEMENT), language: English, abstract: This study seeks to determine the relationship between economic growth and child labour in Kenya. This was first undertaken by determining the causality between economic growth and child labour in Kenya.In 2017, the International Labour Organization reiterated that elimination of worst forms of child labour has been recognized to be critical pertaining to social and economic development sustainability. Child labour will continue to persist from now on and several decades to come in the Kenyan economy if not curbed. Kenyäs Gross Domestic Product increased rapidly from 18.7 billion US $ in 2005, to 63.8 billion US $ in 2015. Child labour rose steadily from 2.4 million child labourers in 2005 to 3.7 million child labourers in 2015, despite positive increment in Kenyäs Gross Domestic Product in Kenya from 2005 to 2015. From trends discussed in chapter one, it appears that positive increases in economic growth levels alone cannot be the only means to help in reducing or eliminating child labour in Kenya. Kenyäs Gross Development Product has been increasing since 1980 to 2017 amidst fluctuations. Despite positive growth in Kenyäs Gross Domestic Product, there is still an increase in child labour. The Toda-Yamamoto modified Granger causality (non-causality) model was fitted with time series data for the period 1980 to 2017. The estimated results revealed that there was no causality running from child labour to GDP in Kenya. Furthermore, there was causality running from GDP to child labour in Kenya. To establish the existence of a long run relationship between economic growth and child labour in Kenya, the unrestricted conditional error correction model was used in which economic growth was the dependent variable. The explanatory variables were child labour, investment in human capital, international trade openness, population growth and foreign direct investment. The estimation results revealed that a long run relationship existed between economic growth and child labour in Kenya. To determine the short run effects of child labour to economic growth in Kenya, the restricted error correction model was used in which economic growth was the dependent variable.The estimation results revealed that the coefficient of child labour was statistically significant in affecting economic growth of Kenya in the short run. From the empirical results, it was concluded that there was no causality running from child labour to GDP in Kenya where GDP was the dependent.

Michael Brenners tilfældige møde med ghettoen bliver startskuddet på den til dato mest komplicerede mission med tråde tilbage til brændpunkter fra hans professionelle militærkarriere. Hans seneste efterretningsmission i Kenya blev måske kompromitteret – og et politisk magtspil havde vist sig i skyggerne. De kenyanske medier fremhævede, at moderens død blev politisk dysset ned. Dette forhold og mødet med den mørke erotiske ulandsfrivillige læge Karen hvirvler Michael ind i en følelsesmæssig og eftertænksom odysse, da han drager tilbage til familiens kenyanske kolonihistorie og landsted i Nairobi. Faderen er tidligere britisk general og er nu rådgiver for Natos militære ledelse. Faderens højteknologiske firma, Compita, arbejder på en banebrydende opfindelse, der vil revolutionere menneskeheden og tilbyde et digitalt liv efter døden. Fundet af et ukendt grundstof i Kenyas højland fører til et dramatisk opgør mellem fortidens magtfulde adelsslægter i landet og en involvering fra de herskende techgiganter fra Silicon Valley. Uddrag af bogen Spyfluerne var kommet i position og observerede Aalim Obama, mens han stod fastspændt mellem to svære jerndragere. Hans hænder var bundet til jerndragerne med blå faldskærmsliner og stillingen fik Brenner til at tænke på Den Vitruvianske Mand tegnet af Leonardo da Vinci. En af spyfluerne havde sat sig på Aalims skulder. Gulvet i hallen var af beton og den varme fugtige luft drev ned af væggene. Der var en ildevarslende lugt af kød i forrådnelse og kadaveret, som lå tæt på Aalim, var levende af maddiker. Aalims T-shirt og hår var gennemvædet af sved efter at have kæmpet med rotterne hele natten. Hans øjne var opspilede, hans blik flaksede rundt og hver en muskel i hans senede krop var i alarmberedskab.
