    This article looks at the role of land and grievances thereto in the post-election violence experienced in Kenya in late 2007 and early 2008. It argues that the failure of post-colonial governments to craft a cohesive and inclusive national agenda for development has resulted in a fragmented populace. This fragmentation militates against a national ethic as the citizenry congregate around their ethnic groupings as a source of security and guaranteed access to resources such as land.

    The land question in many African countries has geographical, political, economic, social and demographic nuances. These factors color land and resource rights for pastoral and forest dwelling communities. Land as property draws from the universality of the theory of property in time and space with the earliest theoretical explanations of property being occupation of land and where property belonged of right to him who seized it first. Land therefore represents the earliest form of property and includes resources on the land such as trees; pasture; water and wetlands.

    In Africa, as elsewhere, land rights have remained a bastion of male power and privilege. Since land is a fundamental resource for improving living conditions and economic empowerment, the lack of land rights for women undermines efforts to promote gender equity and equality within a patriarchal society. The minimal transformation of women’s socio-economic position with regards to access and control of land is, in many cases, due to land reform programmes and related processes whose design or implementation is “gender neutral”.

    Soil erosion and surface runoff are consequences of integration of several factors and processes within a catchment. The use of a rainfall simulator and run off plots provides a valuable research tool and are often used in soil erosion and surface runoff studies. Cheruiyot (1984) used this approach to study infiltration rates and sediment yield in Kiboko, Kenya. The present study used the same method but with a mini-rainfall simulator (Kamphorst, 1987) to study the effects of different land use treatments on soil loss and surface runoff.

    The Purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of technology on
    sustainable irrigation of small scale dry land farming in Kitui Central District,
    Kitui County, Kenya. The study sought to establish the extent to which adoption
    of new irrigation technology, gravity free flow irrigation and access to access
    to credit has influenced sustainable irrigation of small scale dry land farming.
    Descriptive survey research design was adopted. A sample of 150 participants
    was randomly selected from 1540 small-scale dry land irrigation farmers in the

    The Kenyan below-ground biodiversity (BGBD) team selected two benchmark sites for the inventory of soil biota which were the Irangi and Ngangao forest sites located in Mount Kenya region of Embu District and the Taita Hills area of Taita Taveta District. These two sites are found in biodiversity hotspots that support rare and endemic plant and animal species. The larger Embu and Taita benchmark areas were demarcated
    into sampling areas which are referred to as windows ’W’ in this study. Site characterization was carried out using the method provided by FAO-UNESCO for

    The diversity of nematode destroying fungi in Taita Taveta, Wundanyi division, Coast
    Province, Kenya, was investigated between May 2006 and December 2007 aiming at harnessing
    their potential in the biological control of plant parasitic nematodes in the area.
    Given that the intensity of land cultivation is continually increasing in the study area, it is
    prudent to document the status of the nematode destroying fungi before the remaining
    forest habitats are ultimately disrupted. Soil samples were collected from forest, maize/
