Karambu Ringera - fighting for human rights in Kenya.

Quotation:

Mainstream economics informs us that the economy of Kenya is not growing and that is why we are poor. I say that Kenya is not poor. It is the management of its resources that is poor. Our education is not geared towards meeting our national priorities – it serves us with knowledge to serve the international market. Our own local needs are compromised by the compulsion to export, to meet the demands of the developing nations.

The Global AIDS Alliance Luncheon by Dr. Karambu Ringera

August 25, 2008 was the day set for a luncheon in Denver, Colorado, when two leading AIDS organizations recognized Democratic members of Congress who have shown extraordinary leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS, both in the US and around the world. Despite significant progress, HIV/AIDS is still killing about 5,500 people a day and infecting another 7,500. The sponsor of the event, Global AIDS Alliance Fund, and its key domestic partner, AIDS Action Council, were also challenging candidates for Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, to sign a pledge on AIDS, poverty, and reform of foreign assistance. The pledge is online at http://www.globalaidsalliance.org/index.php/c4_site/interior/congressional_pledge/, and organizers are asking voters to take the pledge to the candidates to urge that they sign.

Temporary Calm or Lasting Peace: What Will Be The Legacy of Kenya's Coalition Government?

The coalition government is not enough to bring lasting peace and stability. The sharing of power solution will neither encourage displaced people to return home nor ease Kenya's smoldering ethnic and economic divisions. Why? Because the solutions to peace, stability, re-settlement and ethnic and economic divisions lie deeper than the mere creation of a coalition government, which is a political fix, not a social one. Solutions to these issues lie in the creation of inclusive, just and fair systems and institutions of governance, including addressing historical disparities in land distribution and access to resources, economic possibility and social justice for all.
