This publication is a collection of essays on human rights and democratic governance in Kenya in the period after the 2007 post-elections violence.

After surviving the trauma of electoral violence, the country soon embarked on a journey towards reconstruction by engaging in, among other things, intense re-evaluation of the then existing system of laws and institutions. In the process, the daunting task has been to reverse the flawed systems that have been in existence for many decades and in their place entrench systems that would promote and respect democratic governance and human rights. This publication, therefore, documents the extent of the country’s reconstruction since 2007, and makes recommendations for the way forward for the recovery of the state.

The editors of this publication are distinguished Kenyan academics. Morris Kiwinda Mbondenyi is an Associate Professor of Law at the Africa Nazarene University. Evelyne Owiye Asaala is a Lecturer of Law at the University of Nairobi. Tom Kabau is a Senior Lecturer of Law at the Africa Nazarene University.
