However, the Legal Aid (General) Regulations (No. 86 of 2022) require every applicant to produce payslips, tax returns, and asset records before their application can be considered. Stateless persons, such as the Nubian community in Kenya, who often live outside the formal systems that generate these documents, find it impossible to meet these requirements.

You can’t learn 21st-century science just by sitting in a lecture hall and talking to each other. True learning happens when you get your boots dirty, step into the field, and see how things actually work. Our biology education majors from the School of Education, Humanities, and Social Sciences (SEHSS),recently wrapped up an intensive academic tour of Western Kenya. Led on the ground by, Lecturer in Biology at the Department of Education (Science), designed the entire trip around a singular, practical goal: get out of the classroom, get away from the whiteboards, and build real-world, hands-on skills.
