The Making of the Nation-State: Kenya at Fifty

Panel Discussion every Wednesday, 25th April to 11th July 2012, 6.30 pm at the Goethe-Institut Auditorium, Nairobi. Free Entrance.


This series of 12 lectures, convened by Professor Karega Munene, on a weekly basis, takes stock of Kenya’s cultural, social, economic, political and intellectual growth in relation to governance and treatment of human rights since independence in 1963. During this period Kenya has had three presidents – the late Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi, and currently H.E. Mwai Kibaki – whose styles of leadership have impacted on the lives of Kenyans differently, thus providing us with invaluable lessons that require documentation if they are to serve the country as she faces the future. more info at: www.goethe.de/ins/ke/nai/
