Is the mission Impossible Implementing the Ndung’u Report in kenya?

By PAUL MASIBO WABWAYI NGOME
Image
       Land continues to command a pivotal position in Kenya’s social, economic, political and legal relations. Perhaps this explains why, when other resources for political patronage have declined at any time in our political history, the ruling elite have resorted to illegally dishing out public utility land. This phenomenon of illegally and irregularly allocating public land to “politically well-connected persons” gains pace just before and after elections. Over the years, a culture of corruption and impunity flourished and went unpunished amongst those entrusted with power over public utility land. 10 Implementing the Ndung’u Report On 30th June 2003, the NARC government appointed a commission of inquiry to investigate the illegal and irregular allocation of public land in Kenya. The Commission came to be known as the Ndung’u Commission, and its report as the Ndung’u report, after Paul Ndung’u, the Nairobi lawyer who chaired the commission. In its report, relea...

        When Uganda’s former leader, Idi Amin, seized power   .Jomo kenyatta  from the then president, Milton Obote in 1971, his act was received with lots of cheers in Kampala but he would later be seen as a monster after he took up a dictatorial style of leadership. He had come to power with good intentions for his people but as time went on he became power-drunk and started abusing people, historians say.He became ruthless and brutal, repressing the Ugandan people and ignoring their human rights, and subsequently ruined the economy when in 1972, he ordered the deportation of over 80,000 Asians living in Uganda Western leaders, including the United States, cut ties with Amin, and this, coupled with the growing resentment he was getting from his country made him believe that waging war against neighbouring Kenya would save his regime .In 1976, the military dictator attempted to redraw the boundaries of Uganda and Kenya saying that he wanted back all ...

SOCIAL AND EQUALITY TO ALL

SOCIAL AND EQUALITY TO ALL
My main agenda is adopting a Gramscian theoretical framework, the five parts of this volume focus on the various ways in which the political is discursively and materially realized in its dialogic co-constructions within the media, the economy, culture and identity, affect, and education. We focus at examining the power instantiations of sociolinguistic and semiotic practices in society from a variety of critical perspectives, this blog focus at how applied political linguists globally is responding to, and challenge, current discourses of issues such as militarism, nationalism, Islamophobia, sexism, racism and the free market, and suggests future directions. No peace, no unity, no coexistence hence all becomes vanity...! It's why the world is oval.
