Extractions: A FRICA At the 1993 meeting of the UNWGIP and also at the 1993 Vienna World Conference on Human Rights, the MDA articulated the major problems that currently threaten Maasai culture and identity. The delegation presented testimony describing the ecological degradation of Maasailand, the lack of adequate educational facilities, Maasai displacement at the hands of competing peoples, and the misappropriation of funds earmarked for indigenous development projects. Foremost among the MDA's concerns is the desire to recover lands in Kenya's Rift Valley Province, which were lost through dispossession over the past century. Because Maasai culture is inextricably bound to the land, their concern is understandable; dispossession of territory threatens to obliterate their culture. In addition to its fear of increasing landlessness, the MDA explains that the Maasai have also been unable to achieve compensation for lands already taken from them. In particular, a great part of Maasailand was set aside for game reserves and national parks to expand Kenya's tourist economy, but to date, the Maasai have not benefitted from that development. Instead, they now face losing more land, as non-indigenous people attempt to buy it (or otherwise take it) from them. And while encroachment disrupts the cultural integrity of the Maasai, unsound farming methods used by non-indigenous peoples further upset the delicate ecological balance of the Rift Valley. The MDA claims that the unrestrained use of the herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers has polluted water sources in grazing areas.

Extractions: Institute for Security Studies INTRODUCTION This article focuses on two aspects of the Kenyan socio-political arena, and explains how these provide a useful setting for the President to manipulate the political process to his advantage. The first of these features may be described as a system of personal rule; the second as the ethnicisation of politics. These act as the context within which Moi, by instigating and exacerbating conflict, could and can control the political process. The argument is made here that, in so far as this continues to be the nature of politics in the country, Moi or any eventual successor, can choose to use the same means to retain political power virtually at will. CHRONOLOGY OF VIOLENCE During the course of the December 1992 elections, there was a lull in fighting after which conflict restarted and escalated, now encompassing the Molo, Narok, Pokot, Londiani, Elburgon and Burnt Forest areas of the Rift Valley. The perpetrators of this latest violence expanded to include the Maasai and Pokot ethnic groups. These attacks were aimed primarily at the Kikuyu. After another lull in fighting, there was renewed violence in March 1994. The Kalenjin again fought with the Kikuyu in the Rift Valley and Burnt Forest areas. This was followed by the forced eviction of Kikuyu by the Maasai in the Enoospukia region. In 1995, in the Mai Mahiu area of Naivasha, fighting broke out that left 300 000 people displaced.

Extractions: 13th November 1999 The tragedy of these and other actions is that they geared at sustaining the oligarchy that Kenya is and has been, and at most, shift control of the oligarchy. If parliament wanted to be of assistance to this country, then it would address the alarming revelation recently made by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), of misappropriation of public funds to the tune of Kshs. 550 billion (approximately US $ 7.3 billion). These are funds that were meant to develop Kenya, but have been instead used to keep the oligarchy in power. As the vast majority of Kenyans hunger and despair, a tiny minority lives a life of luxury and opulence with tales of overseas holdings, such as apartments in New York city, hotels in France and Saudi Arabia, estates in Japan, and ranches in Australia. This can be described as nothing but evil. It is inconceivable how the minority in Kenya continues to live lives of unproductive luxury when the majority of Kenyans are unsure where their next meal will come from. Matters in Kenya are at a depressing stand still. It is no longer a question of if there will be a social upheaval, but when the social upheaval is going to occur. This is not merely a sensationalist statement, but one based on the current situation in the Nation as a whole. The populace is hungry, angry, and extremely agitated. The upheaval has already began in small doses going by the ongoing co-operative unrest in Nyeri, and the recent ejection of expatriates by Muhoroni sugar farmers. The rot has set in too deeply and our task is to limit the magnitude and consequences of an impending uprising. This is something of utmost alarm and concern because we will assault, attack, and destroy each other in frenzied acts of frustration and bitterness, before settling down and addressing the cause of our predicament.
