This paper analyses the concept of majimboism in Kenya, which essentially calls for the division of the country into semi-independent tribal states. The concept was first presented at the second Lancaster House Constitutional Conference in England in the prelude to independence, and later as a way to stem the demands for pluralism in Kenya since 1991. The author pays particular attention to latter-day majimboism and its consequences on the political and economic set-up for Kenya. This version of majimboism is especially critical since the calls for its restoration were followed by violence, which has led to the deaths of an estimated 1,500 people and the displacement of more than 300,000 others from their homes in the Rift Valley, and has taken a form of ethnic cleansing. The paper critically discusses this ethnic cleansing, attempting to link the violence to the calls for majimboism. Finally, the paper discusses the manner in which the KANU regime has previously amended the Constitution as this is the proposed and most likely way through which it will attempt to impose majimboism in Kenya.
