	Kuria slams Nyachae on law review
		Kuria, a past chairman of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), said that the LSK’s and Ufungamano Initiative’s drafts were intended for introduction before the committee and would have had the merit of supporting a constitutional presidential system of government.
		Kuria said the Ufungamano Initiative would have had the merit of separating entirely the Legislature from the Executive branches of government by requiring members of the Cabinet to be appointed from outside Parliament.
		Kuria pointed out that the Naivasha Accord has among other disadvantages, retaining the one-chamber Parliament, which turned Kenya into a dictatorship between 1966 and 1988, and retaining a Cabinet in which 80 per cent of the members are appointed by the President, thereby retaining a capacity compromise democratic institutions.

	The 2002 Kenya Elections
		Such is the potency of the clan factor in the politics of Kuria, the single constituency district lying on Kenya's border with Tanzania to the south-west.
		The Kuria, a small ethnic group that felt hemmed in by their Luo neighbours until they were given their own district a few years ago, are made up of four major clans: Abakira, Abagumbe, Abanyabasi and Bwirege.
		All four Kuria clans are separated from their kin by the border, a fact which has never stopped them from relating socially and culturally.

	Kuria history - Traditional Music & Cultures of Kenya
		Essentially, therefore, the Kuria are an amalgam of various pre-existing Bantu peoples, whose individual identities have now largely been lost (a notable exception being the Suba, who live on and around Rusinga and Mfangano islands to the north of Kuria land, and who have long resented being associated with the Luo).
		Nonetheless, the proximity of the Kuria to the Luo has profoundly influenced their culture, and explains in part the existence of the lyre among the Kuria, which is generally absent from Bantu cultures.
		The Kuria themselves have an oral tradition (which may be one among many different histories; I remain ignorant as to the rest), which states that they came from a place much further north called Misri or Misiri.

		Kuria marriages necessitate a hefty brideprice (also called bridewealth or dowry), paid for in head of cattle from the groom and his family to the family of the bride.
		The Kuria have an interesting, quasi-matriarchal system found in various parts of Africa, which essentially allows women of means to "marry" younger women in order to have children without the need to live with a man.

		However, the provincial administrators in the region, Kuria DC Joshua Chepchieng’, and Siabai chief, Stanslaus Mwita Makuri, insist that the trouble should be resolved.
		According to reliable reports, the Nakuru meeting was tense, with the Kuria accusing the Provincial Administration of complicity and therefore bias in handling its aftermath.
		In the perception of the Kuria, the Provincial Administration and most Government institutions, including the Judiciary, are dominated by people sympathetic to their adversaries, the Maasai, and are therefore incapable of addressing their plight.

		The Kuria, where the sungusungu initiative was used successfully for control and management of the illicit small arms and light weapons, is situated in the South of Nyanza Province, Kenya.
		Before Uganda was liberated from the tyranny of Idi Amin, cattle rustling in Kuria was not known to be as violent as what it became after the liberation war.
		Furthermore, this section will essentially seek to show that the agro-pastrolism practised by Kuria and the influence on their way of life by the pastrolist Masai was responsible for the propensity to cattle rustling.

	UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1978 Issue 4 - 001
		One such village is Kuria (population 850) in District Swat; it is known to have an exceptionally high rate of opium smoking.
		In Kuria the provision of basic health services alone would therefore not be expected to have significant impact upon the extent of use.
		In the present study, however, the general profile of Kuria village opium users, with their younger age and emphasis upon the social and pleasure effects of opium use, would tend to emphasize the need for a strong psychosocial emphasis in the over-all treatment strategy.

		Of the 4 who were not employed in Kuria, one was a 12-year old, and 2 indicated they were living on their savings at the time of the interview.
		Although a significant proportion of rural Kuria users attributed their initiation to self treatment of health disorders (22 per cent) the most common reason was for purposes of social interaction.
		The high prevalence of drug dependence in the opium-cultivating village of Kuria is of particular interest in showing that a very large proportion of one community can become dependent while comparable surrounding groups may not be affected.

		Upon clearing the phenomena which gave them cover the Kuria fleet was able to mask its signature by leapfrogging between the five Bajoran moons for several hours, setting up their attack positions to envelope the just-arriving Cardassian armada.

		Kuria Cattle Raiders is about cattle raiding as practiced--both historically and in the present day--by the agro-pastoralist Kuria people, whose population straddles the border between Tanzania and Kenya.
		While in years past the raiding of other tribes and other Kuria clans was done for prestige and bridewealth cattle, today the practice is carried out by heavily armed multiclan and multiethnic gangs that are highly organized and cash market-oriented.
		Kuria Cattle Raiders engages issues of theoretical as well as practical significance for anthropologists, sociologists, criminologists, cultural ecologists, economic development agencies, and all those concerned with the pressing issues of globalization and rapid social and cultural change.

		It is rumored that Dr Kuria is the president’s lawyer, and if that is the case, then it should occasion no surprise that the lawyer has acquired his client’s habit.
		It was during that session that Dr Kuria, while declaring his fidelity to the Wako draft, that he referred to those opposed to it as fools.
		Therefore for Dr Kuria to maintain as he has done that we cannot change the structure of a constitution is a display of mind boggling incompetence in jurisprudence.

	Witnessing a Rite of Passage: Circumcision Rites Among the Kuria
		To declare an open circumcision season, the elders of the secret council must judge a number of physical and metaphysical factors to be propitious, after which hundreds of early adolescent boys and girls undergo a series of culturally prescribed rituals, including genital cutting.
		Leah is very religious, wore her cross all the time, and in a very quiet, unassuming way seemed quite intransigent, maintaining that she could become an adult without undergoing that ritual.
		She publishes her research on the Kuria people regularly in a variety of journals, and has taught at Bennington since 1996.
