The Emergence of Trade Unionism in the Asian-Owned Sugar Plantations in Kisumu County, Kenya, 1953-1963

The paper examines the emergence of trade unionism in the Asian-owned sugar plantations n Kisumu County of Kenya. The sugar industry has continued to be a major player in the county’s economy to date. The article traces the nascent labour protests and strikes in thesesugar plantations and the impact of these protests and strikes.The working conditions in the Asian-owned sugar plantations were generally poor. However, African labourers never accepted the poor working conditions as a fait accompli. Rather, from the outset they made concerted attempts to ameliorate their working conditions through various methods such as desertion, evasion of harsh employers, strikes and later the formation of trade unions.Material for the article is derived from archival research, oral interviews and analysis of existing works on socio-economic history in general and the labour movement in particular.  It was through the establishment of colonial rule that Kisumu County was incorporated into the World Capitalist System. The paper affirms that labour consciousness in the sugar plantations emerged later compared to the urban workers ostensibly because of the unskilled and unstabilized nature of the labour force. The article concludes that the emergence of the Kenya Union of Sugar Plantation Workers (KUSPW) to some extent led to the improvement of the working conditions. The paper contributes to Kenya’s labour historiography. Key words: Labour protests; migrant labour; plantation; sugar industry; trade unionism.

The Sociology of Insecurity: Cattle Rustling and Banditry in North-Western Kenya

The study analyses new forms of banditry and cattle rustling in north-western Kenya. These phenomena involve both inter and intra-ethnic as well as cross border raids for livestock. The practice is causing great havoc in the area in terms of loss of human lives, destruction of property, stealing of livestock and dislocation of populations. The new forms of violence seem to be the result of multiple cracks in the administrative structures of the state and social norms. The government of Kenya seems to have lost effective control over northwestern Kenya, especially with regard to bandits and cattle rustlers, who have become more militarised and destructive in their operations. The study posits that the roots of these new forms of violence and insecurity can be found in social, cultural, economic, political and  historical factors. The study seeks to establish that banditry and cattle rustling are serious threats to internal security, rule of law and democratic governance, which are so vital for political pluralism in Kenya. It is the understanding of these new  tendencies and their relative importance, amidst challenges of globalisation, which is central to any research on violence, conflict and conflict resolution in Eastern Africa. Part one of the paper provides a historical background of the pastoral economy and cattle rustling since pre-colonial times. Part two discusses the causal factors of new forms of banditry and cattle rustling. Although most of these factors can be traced to the colonial era, the main focus is on the worsening situation in the last twenty years or so. Part three summarises the socio-economic and political impact of banditry and cattle rustling. In the conclusion, the paper provides a compressed discussion and offers some possible solutions to the banditry and cattle rustling menace

Implementasi Multimedia Software Engineering Methodology Pada Pembuatan Perangkat Promosi Wisata

Abstract—Artikel ini membahas tentang perbedaan antara multimedia interaktif dan non-interaktif. Multimedia non-interaktif ditampilkan dalam format linier dan pengguna tidak dapat berinteraksi dengan kontennya, sedangkan multimedia interaktif memungkinkan pengguna untuk berinteraksi dan mengontrol cara konten ditampilkan. Dalam pembuatan produk multimedia, developer biasanya mengacu pada dua metode, yaitu Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) dan Multimedia Production Stage (MPS). MSEM (Multimedia Software Engineering Methodology) adalah metode pengembangan perangkat lunak yang didesain untuk membantu dalam pembuatan aplikasi multimedia interaktif atau non-interaktif. Studi ini mengkaji manfaat MSEM pada implementasi produk multimedia dengan mempelajari dampak dan manfaat penggunaan MSEM pada perangkat promosi wisata lokal yang memuat multimedia interaktif dan non-interaktif. Manfaat penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan masukan pihak developer multimedia untuk menggunakan MSEM dalam merencanakan dan mengembangkan produk multimedia. Abstrak—This article discusses the difference between interactive and non-interactive multimedia. Non-interactive multimedia is displayed in a linear format and users cannot interact with its content, while interactive multimedia allows users to interact and control the way content is displayed. In the creation of multimedia products, developers usually refer to two methods, the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and the Multimedia Production Stage (MPS). MSEM (Multimedia Software Engineering Methodology) is a software development method designed to assist in the creation of interactive or non-interactive multimedia applications. This study examines the benefits of MSEM in multimedia product implementation by studying the impact and benefits of using MSEM in promoting local tourism products containing interactive and non-interactive multimedia. The purpose of this research is to provide input for multimedia developers to use MSEM in planning and developing multimedia products. &nbsp

Interpreting Embu-Mbeere Politics through the lens of Sibling Rivalry, 1906–2021

Before the advent of colonialism, ethnicity in Africa was fluid and negotiable. However, the colonial state labelled and concretised the various ethnic groups, highlighting their divergences rather than convergences. In the then Embu Division, the Embu and Mbeere communities with perceived commonalities and a shared past, fell into the trap of colonial stereotyping of “progressive Embu” and “good Mbeere versus bad Embu”, which the two ethnic groups held with a certain degree of animosity. Since the establishment of colonialism in the region in 1906, the two “siblings” have tended to emphasise their distinctiveness, which was initially propelled by the colonial policy of “divide-and-rule” but was later amplified by local “big men”. Consequently, a complex web of emotions arose in interpersonal contexts, creating jealousy and rivalry among siblings which were cheered on by a “beloved parent"—the colonial government. Similarly, socio-economic development in contemporary Embu County is influenced by ethnicity, though Kenyan leaders have routinely treated ethnicity as a hindrance to modernity. Ethnic competition has continued in the devolved government of Embu County, which was uniquely the first to call for the impeachment of its governor. This article draws from a PhD project conducted between 2019 and 2021 using archival data and involving 59 informants. The research employed the transactional model of sibling jealousy theory to analyse how the Embu and Mbeere construct and deconstruct each other through selective memories and histories, influencing their claims and access to resources. The implications of these dynamics are particularly evident in the contested politics and socio-economic transactions within Embu County

PENERAPAN SANKSI PIDANA PERAMPASAN ASET HASIL KORUPSI DARI PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI

This study employs a normative legal research method, focusing on regulations governing corruption offenses and the responsible law enforcement agencies. Despite efforts to improve regulations and the establishment of institutions such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), corruption practices remain widespread in Indonesia. Various challenges, including legal substance, protection for whistleblowers, and political interference, hinder the effectiveness of law enforcement. Therefore, the enactment of the Asset Seizure Bill is crucial to provide clearer regulations, including mechanisms for non-conviction-based asset forfeiture. The application of criminal sanctions for the forfeiture of assets derived from corruption is expected to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement, aligning with Indonesia's commitment to the UNCAC and the need to adapt regulations to the evolving complexities of criminal offenses. With these improvements, it is hoped that Indonesia's legal system will become more just, transparent, and accountable
