The Role of Free and Independent churches in the context of politics and society in Kenya

Religion and Politics

It is generally accepted that religious leaders should play a non-partisan role in influencing political processes. Moral and ethical debates suggest that while religious leaders should readily provide guidance and advice to political leaders, the former should not have personal interests in political matters.It is with this backdrop that KAS Kenya decided to do a study on ‘The Role of Free and Independent churches in the context of politics and society in Kenya’. The main objective for this publication is to strengthen knowledge among the Kenyan society, Religious actors, Legislators and Civil Society among other stakeholders on the level of engagement of free churches in Kenya especially on processes, challenges, emerging issues and priority areas in Kenya’s political landscape.

Rethinking Democracy: Strengthening Topical Issues

Democracy

This publication emanates from a Call for Papers that KAS published on the 22nd of April 2021 with the main objective being to offer political science scholars, practitioners/activists from the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), legal practitioners and any other politically active individual with the platform to make contributions on current topics of political representation and elections in Kenya. This publication is therefore made out of four interdisciplinary areas, namely; 1. Political representation and its relationship with service delivery. 2. Political culture, reforms and elections in Kenya. 3. Election management and voter education. 4. Finally, is the influence of Civil Society Organizations on reforms and political processes significant enough? With this approach and publication in general, the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung believes that the knowledge and experiences will contribute to the larger discourse of making democracy work even better for the case of Kenya.

High Court Urteil zu „BBI“ - Wendepunkt in der kenianischen Politik?

Länderbericht Kenia

Knapp ein Jahr vor den nächsten Präsidentschafts- und Parlamentswahlen in Kenia bringen sich die wichtigsten politischen Akteure des Landes in Stellung. Schon seit Monaten belauern sich die konkurrierenden politischen Lager, verschiedene Allianzen wurden bereits geschmiedet - nur um in den meisten Fällen kurze Zeit später wieder verworfen zu werden. Als zentrale Weichenstellung galt lange das erwartete Referendum zur vorgeschlagenen Verfassungsänderung der sogenannten “Building Bridges Initiative“ (BBI), dessen Durchführung jedoch vom Verfassungsgericht unterbunden wurde. Mit der wegweisenden Entscheidung bestätigt das Gericht einmal mehr seine weitgehende Unabhängigkeit.
