::	Editorial
	Kenya ranks amongst the 10 most unequal countries in the world and the fifth in Africa, and the gap between the richest and the poorest citizens widening.

::	I knew it was meant to be
	Kenya, a country ranked by the United Nations Development Index among the 30 poorest nations in the world, is paying its MPs almost as much as those in the British Parliament. This in a country where Emma does not know where she'll get her next meal.

::	How to understand inequality in Kenya
	Inequality is not only the income gap between the rich and poor. It entails differences in access to education, health, access and enjoyment of political rights and representation.

::	Poverty is the process of dying a little each day
	The monthly budget of Naiyanoi who is single mother to 8 children is less than 300 shillings. To Naiyanoi poverty is a process of dying a little each day as more and more pressure is brought to bear on her frail body and tortured soul.

::	We are all born equal
	We must dismantle the barriers that define the rich as our leaders and the poor as voiceless servants, and the barriers that force us to think of men as more important than women or children.

::	The widening of opportunity
	In the 90’s Kenya was on the brink of implosion. It seemed as if Kenya was toying with that seemingly ‘African’ choice of destiny: to disintegrate or not to disintegrate? Fortunately for the country NARC was swept into power, everything became possible. Or did it?

::	History is not made according to my liking
	How can inequality be resolved, or at least, ‘mitigated’? The Minister of Economic Planning, Hon. Peter Anyang Nyong’o, shares his thoughts on this and other disquieting subjects…

::	Do you see the road?
	State corruption has rampantly been played in the civil service with great impunity. The cost has been socio-economic inequality on the people of Kenya.

::	The great equalizer
	Back in the 1980ties it was possible to tell the class almost every Kenyan merely by visual inspection. But with the arrival of cheap decent 2nd hand clothing, some of the best dressed are poor!

::	TOOL BOX - Learning through games
	We far behind the schedule and the guy just talks and talks... A few participants are still scrippling down notes, while the rest are either half a sleep or look preoccopied with planning what to do in the weekend...

::	BOOK REVIEW - Britain's Gulag: The Brutal End of an Empiere in Kenya
	This book is a must reading for the general public, decision makers and development practitioners working on advocacy and policy dialogue on equity and social justice in Kenya. The historical facts outlined on Mau Mau in particular, could not have come at a better time than now when the country is deadlocked on political and economic reforms.

::	MS WORLD - Celebration as 200 paralegals graduate
	The sun was smiling from a cloudless sky while more than 700 guests witnessed the graduation ceremony of 200 paralegals from Kisumu, Homa Bay and Madiany. The colourful function was arranged by Archdiocese of Kisumu (ADOK).

::	MS WORLD - You are in a corruption free zone???
	Sad to say, but if you believe that civil society is a corruption free zone, you are grossly mistaken.

::	VIP INTERVIEW - It is your life
	With only 31 years, Zainabu Shoko from Taita Tavetais running a well established graphic design business in Nairobi. But she is more than a good implementer and business lady; she is a strong young woman with strong opinions.

::	CULTURAL CORNER - Good Morning and Thank you
	A trip from Kenya to Central America is more than just a long journey…
