Kenya
From independence in 1963, Kenya officially a parliamentary democracy and a presidential republic with a very powerful president. This is enshrined in the Constitution of 1963 which was significantly modified in 1982 and 1991. After the disappearance of the Kadu was Kenya from 1969 basically a one-party state under the leadership of KANU (Kenya African National Union). According to President Moi would, moreover, a multiparty system only bring ethnic tensions. Indeed, politicians of different parties who were about, only those riots were deliberately organized and played a very dubious role. A multiparty system became again a reality in 1990.
Kenya Parliament
The parliament, the National Assembly, the legislature and consists of one room seating 202 delegates. Of these, 188 are directly elected and 12 are appointed by the president. The President and the Attorney General are ex-officio (ex officio) member. The sessions of the Parliament is five years.
Representatives of the national government are the most important part of the government in the districts. The middle and top of the civil service rotates and sometimes move within months to a new district. The government of a district composed of councils and district councils, which, however, not very much more to say have. Each District has a number of appointed members and each electoral district councilors. From their midst a President chosen as the official secretary is often the most important person in the district.
Executive power rests with the president, except for the head of state is also head of government and commander in chief of the armed forces. He can appoint the Vice President and the Chief Justice and firing and he is entitled to adjourn sessions of the parliament. He is in direct elections, elected by the people for five years. The president also appointed the Vice President and his cabinet members from the National Assembly. Also the High Court, the Chief Justice shall be appointed by him.
Kenya Administrative
Kenya is administratively divided into seven provinces and a provincial district of Nairobi. The provinces are subdivided into 53 districts. Kenya is a member of the United Nations and some UN agencies, the Commonwealth, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the African Development Bank, Arab Development Bank, the Organization of African Unity (OAU), of which Kenya one of the founders was, and is associated member of the EU (Lomé convention).
Education
Ca. 6 million children attend primary school at about 15,000 schools. There are about 2,500 secondary schools with about 650,000 students.
The current education system is still based on the system that was used in the colonial era. Education to British model was introduced in Kenya by missionaries and were obviously aimed at e.g. European history and literature, and certainly not in the African culture and history. In response, were created essentially African schools in the Kikuyu area. There were also Asian schools.
At present they are schools with an A-level, former African schools, where most of the children arrive. These children often end up in so-called Harambee schools where a call is made on the population itself to maintain education (self reliance). That basic education is free, is in fact only partially true. If the parents do not help to pay for all kinds of facilities, then there is not much right to education. The schools at B level are the former Asian schools where some wealthier children to draw near. The schools at C-level, the former European Schools which are now the elite children. These are mostly private schools.
There is compulsory from seven to fifteen years and approximately 90% of children between six and twelve visits therefore more or less a regular elementary school. Only a third of the students before coming into consideration goes to secondary school.
The low level of education of the teaching staff is also a big problem and the rapid population growth, so the number of students still will double in the coming years. Many people who represent the class do not even have the necessary papers.
There are four universities in Kenya (along with about 35,000 students). Nairobi lie the University of Nairobi (founded in 1956) and Kenyatta University (1972). Egerton University, founded in 1939, is located in Nakuru, and Moi University in Eldoret and is founded in 1984. About 10,000 Kenyans studying abroad, in India alone several thousand. There are some higher technical training and a number of private universities.
attaches great importance to the training of adults. Nevertheless, there are estimates that 18% (1979: 32%) of men and 33% (1979: 56%) of the women had never been to school. Ca. 40% of the population is therefore illiterate. It is about 18% of public expenditure spent on educational purposes.
Medical care
African standards was expanded health care in Kenya. Each district has at least one hospital (about 325) and in rural areas are health centers (approximately 520), where medical assistants and nurses are employed and there are so-called "flying doctors", visiting the remote areas with their planes. In 1994, there were approximately 4,500 physicians and 630 dentists. However, it is about 21% of the population devoid of direct medical assistance.
Government health care is virtually free. Most cities have modern private clinics and a large number of doctors is therefore concentrated in Nairobi.
Missionary work play an important role in health care, while traditional medicine are important. Almost 6% of the government budget is spent on health care. The main causes of death are diarrhea, pneumonia, tuberculosis, measles, malaria and malnutrition. Venereal diseases are common, as well as AIDS.
Religion
About two thirds of the Kenyan population profess some form of Christianity, and is also a member of one of the many denominations. Roman Catholics constitute some of the main group (27%) and there are still among others, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Quakers (about 38%). There are also many non-religious communities often splits and new hybrid forms of Christianity and traditional religions with often only one charismatic leader.
The indigenous religions vary widely by ethnicity, although there are often one or several gods play a major role. Certain rites and magic are still everywhere. A major role in all the faithful still plays ancestor worship. Through mediums, often shamans and tribal elders, we are trying to get in touch with the ancestors and ask for help. In addition to a god who created everything we know many good and evil spirits and demons. Animism with trees and mountains as sacred places also still plays an important role. The Kikuyu religion centers around the god Ngai, who also plays a major role in other nations. Ngai is said that he lives on the top of Mount Kenya and many sacrifices are therefore placed at the foot of the mountain.
About 3% of the Kenyan population is Muslim. The Muslim population is increasing rapidly and has doubled in the last decades. In the northeast near the border with Somalia and coastal living most Muslims, the descendants of the Arabs. Most Africans of Arab origin belong to the orthodox Sunnis, Asian Muslims are often among the Shia. The Lamu archipelago is still very strict Islamic teachings. The main Islamic party on the east coast of Africa is the Maulidi al-Nabin party. Also among the Asians are still Muslims as well as Hindus and Sikhs.
