"Like a Caged Quail"
This paper examines the complexities of the discursive construction of imagined features in End-of-Life Care (EoLC) in Kenya particularly how this process is constrained by communication uncertainty and survivorship waithood. Drawing on theoretical conceptualizations of imagined futures (Appadurai, 2013; Beckert, 2016; Mattingly, 2010), the paper explores how individuals, families, and caregivers navigate the ambiguities of medical prognosticatio…
Chips Funga’
Like other young people, and indeed everyone all over the world, Kenyan university students find reasons to talk about sex and sexual intercourse. In doing this, they naturally find themselves constrained by the societal dictates, which preclude direct reference within the sexual domain, thereby restricting themselves to the creative, euphemistic, and periphrastic terms. This article reports the findings of a study conducted to determine how Keny…
Escaping the Margins of Society
In Kenya, among the youth, traditionally there were established language practice differences where youth in the rural areas would speak the domicile mother tongue while the urban youth re-designed their identity by creating and communicating in ‘Sheng’.

Political Discourse in Emergent, Fragile, and Failed Democracies
"This book examines the effects of unstable democratic systems of government in modern society, providing an imperative analysis on political communications from such nations and highlighting real-world examples on the constraints seen in malfunctioning or emerging governments"
Multilingual education in Kenya
Arguments that have been advanced against multilingual education in Kenya and Africa in general are not new. Most post-colonial African governments have stuck to the pre-colonial education policies which have no relevance to the present day Africa and were, at best, guided by the interests of the colonial power. Unfortunately, most of the claims and arguments against multilingual education are often made on a priori grounds and are, more often th…
Political grandstanding and the use of proverbs in African political discourse
In Africa, the transmission of the overwhelming complexity of the people's day-to-day experiences are deeply rooted in the continent's rich cultural artistry. Proverbs are the most widely and commonly used in the continent's long standing history of oral arts. Proverbs are regarded as repositories of the people's collective social, political and cultural wisdom and as analytic tools of thought. This paper analyses how different Kenyan politicians…
