Rival teams move to seal Ghai deal
Preparations for the union of the two constitutional review teams were put in high
gear yesterday.
And the possibility of the House being recalled to change the review act was
mooted with Mr Raila Odinga, chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on
constitutional reform, saying: "The stage is now set for the review process to begin and
Parliament could be recalled by late next month."
In demand is new politics for the nation
Politics about who rules Kenya after President Moi seems to point to a tribalised
state in crisis. Throughout the Moi tenure, ethnicity has been but one symptom of a
more general weakness of democracy in the country.
The genesis of conflict around Africa
As the 20th century comes to a close, Africa consists of some 54 countries. Since
independence, about a third of them have experienced large scale political violence
or war. This does not include those countries which had relatively bloodless military
coups or occasional assassinations. After all, even the United States has had
presidential assassinations.
Ghai has taught us a vital political lesson
If indeed a breakthrough has occured in the constitutional review stalemate, then
that is wonderful. But one gets the sneaky feeling that Prof Yash Ghai, the optimist
he looks to be, is not speaking for everybody.

Alarming bid to dictate to Kenya's MPs
When, 10 years ago, the Anglo-Saxon world imposed the multi-party system on us,
the argument was that that was the only legitimate form of democracy and that it
was only in our own interest. Democracy was the people's voice, being heard
through a freely elected parliament.
Visa rule against our own interests
The Government has reintroduced the visa requirement for tourists.
Two years ago, it waived the visa requirement for tourists from Britain, France,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Switzerland. The aim, at the time,
was to encourage more tourists to come to Kenya by making travel easier.
