July 2, 2019 Kenya/Global: Big Victory for #SaveLamu/#deCOALonize
�On Wednesday 26th June, Kenya�s National Environment Tribunal
(NET) made a landmark ruling that set aside the license granted to
Amu Power Company Ltd by the National Environment Management
Authority (NEMA) to construct a 1050MW coal plant in Lamu. The
tribunal noted that � there was no evidence that Amu Power properly
informed residents of Lamu of the impacts that the coal plant
project would have on their environment, livelihood or health.� -

July 24, 2017 Kenya: Pre-election Commentaries, 2
"As the election draws closer, Kenyans are reminded how sexist and patriarchal their
society has remained. Choosing to run is a particularly difficult decision for a
woman and her family. Campaigning is often marked by violence directed at women
candidates. ... The agitation for a greater political role for women led to
progressive legal frameworks. But historical prejudices have ensured that a bill that
would enshrine the law has twice failed to get the numbers in a male-dominated
House." - Beatrice Akala
July 24, 2017 Kenya: Pre-election Commentaries, 1
"Like Nairobi's infamous matatus, the election is barreling along, many times on the
wrong side of the law, the noise and vitriol of the campaigns drowning out common
sense. For the terrified passengers, whether they -- and Kenya -- arrive at the other
side in one piece seems to be coming down to a wing and a prayer." - Patrick Gathara
