In 1929-1931, the leader of the KCA - Kamau Ngengi, who became known to the world as Jomo Kenyatta - was sent twice to Great Britain in an unsuccessful effort to voice KCA views and African grievances before a parliamentary committee on the union of Kenya, Tanganyika, and Uganda.

 Kenyaweb Economy
The construction of the Uganda Railway and the coming to Kenya of the white settlers at the beginning of the 20th century marked a major development in the Kenyan economy.
Before the turn of the twentieth century, Kenya was mainly inhabited by the African peoples and its economy was almost entirely at a subsistence level.
This infrastructural and human development was, however, essentially intended to achieve the rather narrow objective of serving the colonial government and the settler community.

 The Constitution of Kenya Review Commission
Given the fact that when they came to Kenya, the British found nationalities with their own social systems and organizations, the proper thing for them to have done when they decided to pull out of Kenya, would have been to ask each of the nationalities what form of unified Kenya they would like to see.
5) That the Head of the Federal Government should be separate from the constitutional Head of State;
European colonial powers have conveniently sought to downgrade these nationalities into ‘tribes’ perhaps with the intention of downplaying the fact that what they found were complex societies with their own systems of social organization and of government.

The Kenya Union of Teachers (KNUT) for sometimes now has not been impressed by the establishment of its rival union, the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), owing to the fact that the former feels that her monopoly status in teachers representation is being diluted.

The Founding Fathers of the United States contrived to perfect the separation of powers principle so that the President heads the executive Government, and the work of Congress is to legislate.

The Queen of England is not a Member or Parliament while the President of Kenya is. Indeed, the President of this country cannot assume office even if he won the majority vote but lost his constituency seat.

During this year's Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association (KSSHA) annual general meeting at the Aga Khan Sports Centre, Mombasa, the headteachers argued that the Ministry of Education has over the last 12 years insisted on uniform school fees guidelines without consulting them.
Whereas the Government school fees figure is fixed for a whole year or two for example, the price of foodstuffs and other utilities like power and firewood keep fluctuating.
But Government on the other hand says the school fees guidelines became necessary after it became evident some schools were overcharging parents and yet their institutions establishment did not merit the charges.
