Rule of Law and Governance 

The Kenyan Constitution provides the presidency with vast executive powers. Accordingly, the executive has dominated Kenyan politics since independence. The ability of parliament to control the executive is very limited. Patronage and weak institutionalization of parties are major factors in accounting for this. The inability to control the government is also a result of the formation of the grand coalition. Roughly half of all Kenyan MPs occupy some form of power.

Role of media in conflict resolution and Peace building 

The media is a double-edged sword. It can be a frightful weapon of violence when it propagates messages of intolerance or disinformation that manipulate public sentiment. Radio Mille Collines in Rwanda is one of the most appalling contemporary examples.
Using a blend of popular entertainment and proselytizing by announcers, the government-supported broadcasts demonized one group of people and built resentment and fear among the other group. The messages implanted and legitimized the belief that genocide was an appropriate self-defence initiative,
and hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered in that country. But there is another aspect to the media. It can be an instrument of conflict resolution, when the information it presents is reliable, respects human rights, and represents diverse views. It’s the kind of media that upholds accountability and exposes malfeasance. It’s the kind of media that enables a society to make well-informed choices, which is the precursor of democratic governance. It is a media that reduces conflict and fosters human security.

Modern democracies are legitimised by enlarged participation and government accountability thus they are by definition party democracies. Parties are the essential link between society and public office as they are the representative agencies oriented to giving voice to their particular constituencies, present candidates at elections and through competitive elections place candidates for public office. Soon after independence in almost all sub Saharan Africa nation-States the main justification for the adoption of single party "democracies" derived from a conception of the society as one single constituency, united by the common history of oppression.

The rocky Migingo Island is located at the centre of Lake Victoria covering about one acre of the land.  It accommodates over one thousand fishermen from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. It takes about two hours by motorboat from the Migori district of Western Kenya to reach the island and nine hours from Bugiri in Uganda.
