Kenya's democratic credentials among them freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of the press, strong civil society and a very vibrant opposition, remain coveted within the region. The country is however still grappling with the challenge of its highly ethnicised politics.
The aim of this book is to shed light on how and why ethnicity is highly entrenched in Kenyan politics. It also delves into how it has held back Kenya's democratisation process and its negative impact on a just, inclusive and unified nation.
The book proposes constitutional, legal and institutional reforms to mitigate the challenge of ethnicity in order to build a more solid democratic nation. This will help put the country on the trajectory of building a more prosperous nation state, where integrity, transparency and accountability are valued.
