Abstract

This article examines the manifestation of ethnicity in Kenyan politics and its impact on Kenya’s democraticpath and development. It questions the salience of ethnicity in politics and traces the origin of ethnicconsciousness to the colonial era. Efforts by the successive regimes to advance a national identity haveproved futile as all of them have worked to calcify it through its exploitation and politicization. We utilize anintersection of theoretical approaches to zoom in on the overwhelming nature of ethnicity in politics. Thecrux of our argument is that ethnicity has, over time, been used for by the self-aggrandizing political elitefor self-serving interests and it is our opinion that the historic handshake between President Uhuru Kenyattaand the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga provided another unique opportunity for de-ethicising Kenya’spolitics and for strengthening the existing institution.
