    Kenya is a country that has a history of political instability and violence amongst its citizens. Kenya has a large agricultural sector and is a very low-resource country that has very high levels of population growth. These high levels of population growth lead to a large labour force of unskilled workers. Public and Private Investment is crucial for upgrading a firm’s technology and ensuring technological progress. In recent years, Kenya has had very low investment levels, which leads to very poor economic infrastructure. The Kenya government has recently made it its goal to improve the skill of its labour force and the economic infrastructure. With an increase in visitors into the country, it looks like Kenya is on its way to more public and private investment. This does not diminish some of the risks of doing business in Kenya, such as violence, poverty, and political unrest.…

    In the first section of this paper I will discuss the historical background of Kenya, including its early economical success in trade to its colonization in the 1500s. I will then lead into the young country’s independence from Great Britain and discuss what this meant for Kenya’s political foundations. Currently, there are two main political parties in Kenya. I will discuss how they have transformed over time along with the current post-election crisis and its effect on the economy. Finally, I will explain the institutions of Kenyan politics and how certain party members are elected.…

    In Today’s society there is an ongoing debate whether the Sandy Hook shooting is a conspiracy or not. Everyone has their own opinion on this unfortunate incident that happened two years ago. In my paper, I will argue that the Sandy Hook school shooting is a conspiracy, and a cover up, because the students interviewed from Sandy Hook Elementary school were asked about the gunshots, and they said it sounded like a loud thud or as one boy stated “Someone kicking a door.” While the adults at the school said hundreds of shots; Adam Lanza, a twenty year old autistic boy; was allowed to enter the school carrying a large Military grade rifle and two pistols; and the car the boy drove to the school belonged to a man found fleeing the school and detained by police but never mentioned on the news. The man’s car also contained a loaded shotgun believed to be the rifle used by Adam, but that would have been four guns not three. Some may argue that stating there is a conspiracy about this horrible tragedy is sickening, but even the most stubborn people can change their minds after reading and watching true facts on the case. Therefore, I believe that anyone who reads and sees these facts on the case will be a firm believer that the Sandy Hook shooting is in fact a conspiracy hiding something even bigger.…

    In commitment to social justice, a new breed of leadership should unfailingly pursue restructuring of the economy to ensure that economic activities in Kenya serve the needs and interests of the whole population. The economic objectives should be that every family has the capacity to feed, clothe and house itself, which in turn implies that every family has access to remunerative employment that is capable of providing these things. Food, clothing and shelter are the cornerstones upon which the belief and commitment to economics of social justice must rest.…

    Just like any other commodity market, the labour market consists of the interaction of the demand side (employers/job creators) and the supply side (employees/job seekers). The interaction settles at a market wage rate that both sides of the labour market agree to work with i.e. the equilibrium wage. There are times that the government or an intervening regulatory party assess that the agreed upon wage rate is too low for workers to earn and sets up a regulation/law to quote the market wage rate to be above the agreed upon market equilibrium wage rate that all market players must abide to. This increase in wage rate is known as minimum wage rate.…
