Abstract

Beyond Politics: A Conversation with Kiraitu Murungi offers an in-depth exploration of the political career and personal journey of Kiraitu Murungi, a prominent Kenyan politician. Authored by Njeri Rugene, the book traces Murungi's life from his humble beginnings in a Mau Mau detention camp to his achievements as a Harvard-educated lawyer, human rights advocate, and influential political figure. The narrative delves into key political events in Kenya, Murungi's role in the multi-party democracy movement, and his experiences as a cabinet minister, senator, and governor. Through detailed interviews conducted amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Rugene captures Murungi's intellectual approach to politics, his eloquence, and his strategic navigation of political challenges, including the Building Bridges Initiative. The book aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of Murungi's impact on Kenyan politics and his relationships with other political leaders.

Abstract

Despite being a large capital city in Africa in terms of size and its regional role, Nairobi is an unrecognised entity. For the majority of its inhabitants, the capital of Kenya is a transit point rather than a dwelling place. Since its origins, Nairobi has been a city of migrants, more predisposed to their rural roots than to their current city status. It is a non-conforming town, which conceals its urbanity more than it claims it, and whose identity remains evasive. Nairobi presents itself as a mosaic of residential areas which bring to mind the cityís history. The racial segregation that st

Abstract

"COVID-19 led to an economic downturn not only in Kenya but also in the rest of the world. It put these countries into a recession as a result of the measures taken by trading partners to prevent the spread of the virus. This meant that the Kenyan needed to come up with monetary and fiscal policies and strategies to maintain macroeconomic and fiscal stability, as well as accelerate the pace of economic growth by achieving resilience and sustainability of economic growth and development. This book uses both descriptive and econometric methodologies that can easily be understood by scholars, using quality data from credible sources such as the Kenyan National Bureau of Statistics, the Ministry of Health, World Bank, World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund. The book can be used as reference material for both post and undergraduate students interested in international trade. The policies and strategies proposed can be used by scholars in researching ways to deal with not only the current pandemic but also future pandemics"-- Publisher's description.

Abstract

One of the critical questions that Kenyans have continuously asked is what went wrong in January and February 2008 with the ëpeaceí they had hitherto enjoyed. There have not been readily available answers to this fundamental question. The collection of papers presented in this book attempt to provide, as a starting point, possible explanations for the events of early 2008 including key background issues in Kenyan history since pre-independence times. Based on a series of public lectures titled (Re)membering Kenya organized by the volume editors together with Twaweza Communications and sponsored
