The 2017 election in Kenya
The new 2010 Kenya Constitution introduced a devolved system of government that has radically transformed the Kenyan polity. The political elite which operated primarily at the national level now encounters a new competitive political arena with the introduction of county governments under devolution. In particular, a new post of County Governor has surpassed in power calculations both the traditional MP and the new position of senator. In the 20…
Devolution in Kenya
The 2010 Kenya Constitution introduced a new level of government through a process of devolution. County governments were established in each of 47 districts with elected Governors and Members of County Assemblies, and each government acquired their own Executive Council and public service. From independence forward Kenya had been a highly centralised polity reinforced by the rise of an imperial presidency. Now the political system has been turne…
Unbounded politics’ and the democratic model in Solomon Islands
Solomon Islands in the South West Pacific has adapted the liberal-democratic model of politics to suit the ‘Melanesian way’. The ‘big men’ of politics act as magnets attracting elected members of parliament to form and then dissolve coalitions to win the government after national elections and to re-make alternative governments once parliament is in session. In this article, the Melanesian cultural adaptation termed ‘unbounded politics’ drawing o…
Democracy unravelled in Kenya
The introduction of competitive multi-party politics in Kenya has led to intense struggles for the ultimate political prize, the ‘imperial presidency’. Given the country's multi-ethnic character which is dominated by five large ethnic communities or tribes, parties tend to be erected on ethnic foundations. Strong political personalities are elevated to represent and advance the interests of their people. Given the power and resources associated w…
Canadian development assistance
A high degree of consonance exists between officials designing Canadian foreign aid and the political elites of African countries. Both share a commitment to Official Development Assistance and both articulate the identical basket of values underlying current aid policies. These shared values, however, lack resonance once one moves closer to the ground within the current African condition. Drawing on field research in the East African country of …
Presidential succession in Kenya
Daniel arap Moi ruled Kenya using a strategic mixture of ethnic favouritism, state repression and marginalisation of opposition forces, utilising violence, detention and torture. State predation featured, with looting of finances, land grabbing and property seizure. Moi saw his rule coming to an end in 2002, given a ‘two-term limit’ under political liberalisation. From 1998 on, Moi engaged in a carefully calculated strategy to manage the presiden…
Beyond democratic consolidation in Kenya
This article examines the African character of the democratic form of politics that has evolved in the East African country of Kenya. The core features of African politics that lead to this African construct of democracy are highlighted including the critical place of ethnicity and ethnic ties. Two major political earthquakes are analysed to illustrate this African form of democracy, the 2002 elections and the constitutional referendum of 2005
