	washingtonpost.com: Young Urban Kenyans
		Kenyans began to pour into urban areas during the 1950s, drawn mainly by jobs and the surge toward independence from Britain, which occurred in 1963.
		Kenyans found they had smaller slices of land to cultivate as the country's population rose by a staggering annual rate of 3.6 percent.
		Kenyans who have grown up in Nairobi are often stunned by the tribalism in rural areas, where sometimes one's whole life revolves around tribal identity.

	Why Are Kenyans Fast Runners? By Brendan I. Koerner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Kenyans ruled at yesterday's New York City Marathon, as Martin Lel and Margaret Okayo won the men's and women's crowns, respectively.
		It was the fifth time a Kenyan man has won the race since 1997, and the fifth time for a Kenyan woman since 1994.
		The researchers concluded that the Kenyans had a born advantage and speculated that it might have something to do with their "birdlike legs." (The study incensed a number of Kenyan running heroes, including Keino, who viewed the results as an affront to the Kenyan work ethic.)

	GN Online: Angry Kenyans begin massive housecleaning
		Recently, Kibaki granted Kenyans' call for an inquiry into the "Goldenberg Affair,'' a scandal in which the administration of former President Daniel arap Moi funnelled an estimated $600 million to individuals with ties to government ministers for exporting nonexistent gold and diamonds.
		Some Kenyans pay a third of their $300 annual wages in bribes to secure drivers licenses, birth certificates or to prevent the police from taking them to jail for not carrying their identification cards – a common occurrence.
		The attacks on Githaiga and other officers sparked editorials in local newspapers calling on Kenyans to "curb assaults on the police.'' But some analysts say that although they do not condone attacks on the police, ordinary Kenyans are simply expressing their frustration at notoriously corrupt officers.

	CNN.com - Kenyans ask, 'Why us?' - Nov. 28, 2002
		Kenyans reacted with shock and dismay Thursday after terrorists launched another deadly attack from inside the east African nation against another country's citizens -- the second such attack in four years.
		John Malan Sawe, the Kenyan ambassador to Israel, put the blame for Thursday's attack squarely on Osama bin Laden's terrorist network, which was behind the 1998 embassy bombings.
		Other Kenyan authorities have said it is too early to tell who is responsible for the attacks.

		The criticism could have come from any Kenyan -- parliamentarians are lazy, dishonest, tribalistic and selfish.
		The very first act of the new MPs after their election was to quadruple their salaries -- despite opinion polls showing 88 percent of Kenyans felt they were already paid too much.

		The ordinary Kenyans must have confidence that this is their constitution, otherwise we leave these people with no alternative but to mobilize support to reject the Wabunge Draft constitution and as unpopular as parliamentarians are I would advice them to be very careful.
		Let Kenyans decide what changes they want to make to the Bomas Draft, let us come up with a collective and representative body to deal with this even if it is a Bomas IV which accommodates some of the concerns of those who had problems with it.
		My proposal is to have Kenyans choose their constitution and choose their leaders at the same time so that our leaders will not have to give us a constitution but govern by the constitution we have chosen.

	Kenyan Runners (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In Sydney Australia, Kenyans won their seventh straight Olympic gold medal in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, that odd track event that combines distance running, hurdling, and splashing through water.
		Kenyans appear to be at their best at the 3,000-meter length, but they also excel at other distances.
		One charming and popular suggestion is that Kenyan talent stems from their all having had to run to school.

	Kenyans living abroad are doing a lot for their country
		Kenyan message boards on the Internet were wild with various reactions, ranging from vitriol to unkind innuendo to solid, well-thought-out arguments.
		Okungu suggests that Kenyans who fled persecution during the dark days of Mwakenya and the Nyayo torture chambers wear the title "political exiles" with prestige; that they chose the countries in which they ended up and that even with Moi and KANU out of power, they refuse to return.
		The fact of the matter is, over the last five years or so, as confidence grew, many Kenyans who have been away have been returning to Kenya regularly at least once a year and many are actually laying plans to return and start businesses.

	Aljazeera.Net - Kenyans protest presidential powers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Kenyan riot police have fired teargas at crowds for a second day and arrested five people protesting at moves to protect the president's powers in an overhaul of the constitution.
		The most contentious issue is the powers of the president, which the latest draft from a government-dominated parliamentary committee leaves virtually untouched, despite a recommendation from a cross-section of Kenyans, including politicians and religious leaders, that most authority go to a new prime minister post.
		Most Kenyans are disillusioned with Kibaki's two-and-a-half years in office, saying he has failed to live up to his 2002 election pledge to end the tribal politics and corruption that flourished under predecessor Daniel Arap Moi's 24-year rule.

	DEMISE OF KENYANS IN THE DIASPORA: A PERSPECTIVE
		Such groupings while operating on the same premises (as they would at home) however are faced with the daunting prospects and challenges of addressing all their issues and grievances from either the background of minorities and/or foreigners' intervention levels.
		Hence, in tandem with their social, cultural and religious beliefs, most Kenyans prefer to not only one day return to a successful Kenyan Nation, but are hopeful that if they die, their wish is to be buried in Kenya close to their loved ones be it friends, relatives and/or acquaintances.
		Kenyans, most of whom have intermingled their cultural beliefs with their various religious denominations, tend to desire (and implement) a funeral and burial mourning process after their (or a loved one's) demise.

		We need to remind these Kenyans that there is no shortcut to democracy and freedom: if they want to vote, they should denounce their foreign nationalities and apply for Kenyan citizenship, and then vote with Kenyans in Kenya.
		Kenyans abroad ARE NOT(at least not all of them) “are promoting the concept of relocating abroad forever like our fellow fl counterparts from countries such as Haiti, Cuba and Jamaica who have made the US their permanent home” First of all, the author should realize that not all Kenyans abroad live in the United States.
		Decisions made by government affect the daily lives of Kenyans on the ground and you can see why it is that some Kenyans resist the idea of those who have chosen to live on the other side of the planet making decisions that affect the lives of those remaining at home.

		The bad news for Kenyans, according to TI, is that two out of every three encounters with a public official still involves a bribe.

		That Kenyans have for the longest time desired a new Constitution is too plain for argument.
		Kenyans have condemned the wanton experimentation with their rights that has attended our post-independence socio-political experience, and have long ago decided that the major culprit in the theft of our liberty has been a Constitution all too amenable to capture by the wielders of executive power.
