[more][less]Abstract: A continued struggle to achieve successful democracy in Africa has changed the way stories are being told; from and about Africa in both local and international news media. Reporters have realized their obligation to the public equally to the press. Compared to western media, the way media in Africa reports war creates a knowledge gap about the wars in the continent. The problem of this study therefore was to find out the knowledge gap created by the African media in reporting war. The major objectives of this study were to find out the frames used by the Nation newspapers to report war in Sudan between the years of 2014, 2015 and 2016; the story placement in the newspapers and the frequency and uniformity of reporting the war. This study used content analysis research design in which stories from the newspapers were analyzed. The methodology was quantitative content analysis that employed filling data in code sheets obtained from the code book. The data collected was later presented, analyzed and interpreted from the coding sheets. The key findings showed that the Daily Nation reported the highest number of stories at 82%, followed by the Sunday Nation at 11% while lowest was Saturday Nation at 7%. Another key finding showed that there was no story at the prime pages of the newspapers, therefore there were not given prominence. The study found out three major frames that were used. These were frames of authority that included the president, the rebel leader, the AU chief, the UN Sec general. The frames of location covered places which included; Khartoum, Nuba Mountains and Darfur. The frames of ‘war’ checked on the frequency of the mention of the word war. The study recommends more study on effects of Sudan war on the economies of neighbouring countries considering how refugees fleeing Sudan war have impacted economies of host countries.

Wekesa, Moni (African Technology Policy Studies Network, 2006)
[more][less]Abstract: The African Technology Policy Studies Network (ATPS) is a multi-disciplinary network of researchers, policy makers, actors in the private sector and other end-users interested in generating, promoting and strengthening innovative science and technology policies in Africa. With a regional secretariat in Nairobi, the network operates through national chapters in 23 African countries, with an expansion plan to cover the entire sub-Saharan Africa. One of the objectives of the network is to disseminate research results to policy makers, legislators, the organized private sector, civil society, mass media and farmers’ groups through publications, dialogue and advocacy. Among its range of publications are the Working Paper Series (WPS), Research Paper Series (RPS), Special Paper Series (SPS) and the Technopolicy Briefs. Technopolicy Briefs Series are commissioned short papers written by experts from all over the world specifically to address current science and technology policy concerns and questions in Africa. The briefs are also summaries of technical papers published under our WPS, SPS and RPS written to highlight significant policy recommendations. These briefs are written with the busy policymakers and non-specialists in mind. The materials are designed for general readership and help advance the advocacy and knowledge brokerage roles of the ATPS. ATPS is supported by a growing number of donors including the International Development Research Center (IDRC), the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Bank, the OPEC Fund, Ford Foundation, Coca-Cola Eastern Africa, the African Development Bank, and the Royal Dutch Government URI: http://repository.daystar.ac.ke/xmlui/handle/123456789/3113 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore the dual professional identity nature of the Kenyan J-bloggers with specific reference to Nairobi and Garissa Counties. The study was guided by the following specific objectives: to examine the ethical issues that Kenyan J-bloggers face, to find out what motivates the Kenyan J-bloggers to blog, and to explore the dual professional identity of a Kenyan J-blogger. This research centered on J-bloggers in Kenya. In examining the ethical issues that Kenyan j-bloggers face, the study established that there were several ethical guidelines that should be adhered to, which include adhering to copyright issues and giving credit to all the borrowed content, always being truthful and clearly making a distinction between individual opinions and facts, avoiding spam in the name of promoting blog posts, and maintaining the privacy of clients. The study also established that some j-bloggers are motivated by money, others are motivated by personal achievement and appreciation for a job well done, while some others do blog merely to inform the public. It also emerged that most bloggers perceive their work as service to the community as they try to fill the gaps left by the mainstream media in informing, educating, and entertaining the public. Lastly, the study found that J-bloggers face several challenges, among them monetizing the blogging career and finding the best niche to blog about. The study recommends that the government and policy makers develop policies and increase awareness on the legal and ethical issues that should be considered and followed by bloggers.

Abstract: The decolonial discourse around Christianity must not avoid dealing with Whiteness if there is going to be any fruitful decolonization. Colonialism and the Western missionary enterprise were not necessarily two distinct and unrelated entries to precolonial Kenya. How then did Christianity, for decades, live side by side with colonialism? In this article, we contend that Colonialism in Kenya could not have been possible without the missionary enterprise activity. The impact of that unholy relationship is felt and sustained in contemporary forms of violence. Unfortunately, critics of such a discourse dismiss the decolonial efforts in African Christianity citing intellectual activism. Such voices of dissent may not be far from the truth as Jesus’ ministry involved elements of activism. Whenever he confronted oppressive institutional structures, he used activism tempered with a degree of pacifism. Looking at the history of historical injustices in Kenya, we see instances whereby missionary Christianity conveniently abetted injustices for colonial structures to sustain the oppression of the indigenous Africans. Such injustices have been unresolved to date because the oppressive structures are still in place in the shape of neocolonialism. Land, for example, is a present source of conflict in Kenya. In the precolonial African ontology, the land was in harmony with the people. For land to be taken away from its owners, a separation of the people from the land had to happen. This was facilitated by a Christian theology that created existential dualism, violently separating the African bodies from their souls and the person from the community. Hence, Christian doctrine that emphasized ‘saving souls’ and ‘personal salvation’ was entrenched. This separation and fragmentation are fundamental to Whiteness. Whiteness universalizes truth, even theology; it puts a face of neutrality that obscures specificity. Such has made the church uncritical of oppressive and unjust political structures. Whiteness realizes that it is hard to enter into something that is in harmony. Therefore, separation needs to happen for Whiteness to succeed. Unfortunately, much of our theological understanding today is tempered with a neocolonial mindset that separates the soul from the body for Christian triumphalism. It anesthetizes the pain of oppression with the eschatological promise of future deliverance. This paper will analyze the impact of Whiteness in Kenya during and after colonialism to demonstrate how the British explorer–settler–missionary alliance ‘oiled’ the religious and economic disenfranchising of African people. Secondly, it proposes a political theology that will restore ‘Shalom’ in a socially, economically, and spiritually broken country. It is such a theology undertaken in Africa that will confront oppressive structures and identify with the marginalized communities in Kenya Description: Journal Article URI: http://repository.daystar.ac.ke/xmlui/handle/123456789/3916 Files in this item: 1

Musikali, Lois M. (International Company and Commercial Law Review, 2009)
[more][less]Abstract: The general concern about the adequacy of self-regulation as a mode of policing corporations has once again come to the forefront of the corporate governance debate following the current economic crisis. Irresponsible lending to individuals who cannot afford to repay loans has resulted in the near collapse and nationalisation of banks such as Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley in the United Kingdom and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the United States.1 Once again, the Government has had to intervene to prevent an economic crisis, by nationalising failing financial institutions to avoid them falling into liquidation.

[more][less]Abstract: The ultra vires1 doctrine in company law, namely that a company is formed only to pursue the objects specified in its memorandum of association and if it acts outside those objects the transaction is ultra vires and void,2 has for a long time been one of the more intractable problems facing persons dealing with companies in common law jurisdictions.3 Under the ultra vires doctrine, companies could avoid liability under contracts with innocent third parties on the ground that the company never had the power to enter into the said contracts in the first place. A significant number of common law jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Hong Kong, and most recently England, have taken steps to abolish the doctrine of ultra vires. This article considers the provisions of Kenya's Companies Act (the Act)4 that provide for the doctrines of ultra vires and why there is need to review them. The discussion within this article is limited to the ultra vires doctrine as it relates to the objects clause and not to the general breach of directors duties in public listed companies.
