Family Law in Kenya in so far as it relates to Marriage, Divorce and Children – the focus of this book has been in an unsatisfactory state and calling for reform for a number of decades. Attempts at legislative reform often floundered as successive male-dominated Parliaments rejected them. They finally became a reality when a new constitutional order was promulgated under the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. The new era made possible the enactment of a new statutory framework for marriage, with its antecedents and consequences, as well as matrimonial property with its ownership and distribution.

International Human Rights and their Enforcement in Africa-MORRIS MBONDENYI
The main objective and purpose of this book therefore is to underscore the challenges besetting the effective enforcement of international human rights law in Africa and the prospects and promises of an effective regional human rights system. The book, a revised and updated version of my earlier book entitled The African System on Human and Peoples’ Rights: Its Promises, Prospects and Pitfalls, captures succinctly the recent developments of the system, since the publication of its predecessor. This is done with the understanding that the African human rights system is gradually progressing, despite the fact that it is not only the least developed but also the least effective as compared with its American and European counterparts.

THE NEW CONSTITUTIONAL LAW OF KENYA: PRINCIPLES, GOVERNMENT AND HUMAN RIGHTS
On 27 August 2010, a new Constitution for Kenya was promulgated. The Constitution seeks to re-orient the country by establishing a robust dispensation for good democratic governance amenable to the exercise of human rights. This book is tailored to unveil to the reader the fundamental normative and institutional frameworks of Kenya’s new Constitution. Not only does it define key concepts in constitutional law, generally, it also details how government in Kenya has been restructured and re-organised to give effect to the traditional principles that form the basis of constitutional law.
The golden thread that cuts across the various chapters of the book is the emphasis that good constitutions anchor certain tenets that have garnered recognition as hallmarks of democratic dispensation.These hallmarks include the concept of separation of powers; the doctrine of the rule of law; constitutionalism and human rights. These attributes have largely been secured by the 2010 Constitution. Thus, this book is expected to contribute to this new promise by making knowledge on the Constitution accessible through breaking down and contextualising its provisions. It is certain to be useful to law and government students, lawyers, researchers and other persons who seek to understand the new constitutional order. Morris Kiwinda Mbondenyi, LL.D., LL.M.
