Kenya at 50: unrealized rights of minorities and indigenous peoples

This report reviews the current status of minority and indigenous groups in Kenya. Focusing on Kenya’s 2010 Constitution, the report pays particular attention to how legal and policy changes over the last five years have addressed the social, economic and political challenges confronting minorities. Directed at non-governmental organizations, policy actors and the media, this report warns that failure to ensure inclusion of minorities and address the anxieties of majorities, particularly in the context of county governments in the run-up to the 2012 elections and beyond, will lead to untold conflict, driving the reform agenda several years back.
