| | 12. | MAGARINI BY-ELECTION REPORT
Author: Institute for Education in Democracy (IED)
Abstract
Abstract
Magarini Parliamentary by-election was held on 14th May 2007. The seat was declared vacant as a result of a successful election petition against the former Member of Parliament Hon. Harrison Garama Kombe. Mr Daraka Julius Mbuzi, who was one of the contenders in the 2002 general elections, had filed the petition. The petition was initially filed and heard before the High Court in Mombasa, which ruled in favour of the petitioner. This prompted Hon. Kombe and the Electoral Commission of Kenya to lodge an appeal in the Court of Appeal. The Appeal Court delivered a judgement upholding the ruling of the High Court. This meant that the petition was determined as successful, hence the declaration that the seat had fallen vacant. In order to monitor and observe the by-election, IED contracted, trained and deployed two Constituency Monitors to monitor, observe and provide regular reports on the activities preceding, during and immediately after the by-election. These monitors were deployed on the ground for almost two months prior to the by-election.

| | 16. | KISUMU TOWN WEST AND KISAUNI CONSTITUENCY BY-ELECTIONS
Author: Institute for Education in Democracy (IED)
Abstract
The voter turnout in Kisauni was also very low at 21.16%. This reflected serious voter apathy and lack of a serious democratic culture akin to that experienced in the Kisumu Town West constituency. Given the respective percentages of voter turn out of 23.3% in Kisumu Town West and 21.16% in Kisauni constituencies respectively, and other factors observed during the by-elections, IED is of the view that both by-elections were not completely free and fair. The very low voter turnouts cast doubts as to whether the results were truly reflective and representative of the democratic and free will of the constituents. In any event, the Kisauni by-election has attracted two Court Petitions, one by Mr. Ali Hassan Joho, who narrowly lost to Mr. Mwaboza and another by two voters, namely Said Abdallah and Edward Christopher.

| | 19. | Handbook on Human Rights in Kenyan Prisons
Author: IED/Kenya Prison
Abstract
Confinement of people takes many forms and it was tempting to try and deal with people in all types of lawful confinement. Nevertheless, it was felt that this would make the Handbook lose focus. There are therefore categories of confined people who have not been provided for or whose circumstances have only been marginally referred to. Where appropriate, the Handbook distinguishes between the rights of prisoners and the rights of special categories of prisoners, such as children and women. Nevertheless, in-depth provision for these categories would probably require a different publication. For example the Handbook does not seek to address the special conditions of prisoners of war, although some of the principles in it would probably apply to them. Neither does it seek to provide for people who have been confined pending approval of asylum or determination of immigration status. There is much that could possibly be said for these categories of confined persons but they simply do not fit the scope of this Handbook. A separate Handbook would also have to be developed to cater adequately for their unique circumstances. In the main, the key subjects remain convicted prisoners and remand prisoners.
| | 20. | Ford People Strategic Plan 2006-2011
Author: IED/Ford People
Abstract
The essence of having a Strategic Plan cannot be overstated. A Strategic Plan underscores the very beginning of a long-term planning process. With a Strategic Plan in place, it should now be easier to harmonize our various thought processes into a clear-cut vision for the party. It will also be easier to identify both our general and strategic objectives that can then be condensed into a concrete mission. A Strategic Plan enables us to candidly share our history and the ideology that informs our thinking. Above all, it affords us an opportunity to come up with a distinctive operational plan from which party activities can now be drawn.
