This is particularly in the context of the enactment of the new constitution and by extension to seek justice for the people of Kenya. The issue covers a range of articles related to the struggle for justice in the overall context today: In the judiciary, in the courts of the people under public litigation cases and the eviction of the poor from their homes; in the environment \u2013 in this case Lamu; for sexual minorities \u2013 in this case the LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and intersex) movement in Kenya today; the relationship between the Kenyan Somali and the Kenyan state; the rights of women; and in the press. We have also examined the constitutional community justice systems in Kenya in comparison to the formal legal systems today.<\/p>\n<p>In addition there is an article on the historical perspective on the Politics of Law in Kenya. We have also chronicled the life of the late Chief Justice of Kenya Hon, Mr Justice C B Madan. We hope that this story will have an impact on the current process of appointing a new Chief Justice in Kenya under the new constitution. The late Justice Madan was a \u2018Champion for the supremacy of the rule of Law\u2019, which we so badly lack today in Kenya.n<link http:\/\/pambazuka.org\/en\/category\/features\/73117 undefined external-link-new-window>|+| read all articles in full text<\/link>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This special issue of |+| Pambazuka News, published in association with AwaaZ, chronicles \u2018justice\u2019 as its main theme.
