    The Nandi County Political Code of Conduct
    (2012-04-01) Nandi Kaburwo Council of Elders
    In April 2012, more than a year before Kenya’s 2013 elections, the Nandi Kaburwo Council of Elders in Nandi Hills undertook the original task of writing the Nandi County Political Code of Conduct (NCPCC). Throughout Kenya, the pre-election period was characterized by a significant involvement of councils of elders in spreading messages of peace and promoting “good leadership”, unlike 2007 when these councils played an active role in mobilizing Kenyans to take part in the post-electoral violence. Printed as an 8-page booklet, the NCPCC was targeting local candidates, their supporters and political parties. It displayed regulations aimed to contribute to the “transformation of Nandi County” into a prosperous place, an “island of new politics, free of political madness.” Inspired from the role models of the Kenyan “Goodwill Ambassadors” for peace put in place in 2012, and based on oral narratives about iconic pre-colonial Nandi leaders—such as Kimnyolei and Koitalel Samoei—, this code of conduct brings to light cultural, social, economic and political dynamics mobilized by a wide range of actors (NGO, elders, candidates, entrepreneurs) during electoral times.

    Inventory of John Blower's Papers. Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority (EWCA) Library, Addis Ababa (Ethiopa)
    (2022-05-13) Rigaldès, Pia; Blanc, Guillaume
    John Blower was the first advisor of the Ethiopian Wildlife Organisation between 1965 and 1970. This new Ethiopian administration has been established after the Emperor Hailé Selassié requested assistance from UNESCO about wildlife issues. Graduated at the Edinburgh University, John Blower had several African wildlife experiences before joining Ethiopia in 1965: he has been game ranger in Tanganyiaga, in Kenya and chief game warden in Uganda. As advisor of the wildlife organisation in Ethiopia, he took part during five years in the creation of the first national parks in Ehiopia in 1969: the Awash, Semien and Omo parks. All the documents which are present in this collection are directly or indirectly the result of John Blower’s activities in this administration.

    Rentolog Electric Water Technology
    (2022-07-30) Ojugbani, Onyeka
    When electricity passes through the system, the electron in the system becomes unstable. sodium ion is highly electronegative. The electron in sodium will pass through aluminium foil but gets trapped in the silicon and elephant grass electrolyte. Grass absorbs photon light from the sun in the process of photosynthesis, but in this way, the grass will store the electrons from electricity as photoelectric also silicon is a good conductor for electricity, therefore electrons can feel comfortable in that region. Similarly, zinc will tend to sacrifice its electron because it is a highly active metal. but it will also be trapped in the electrolyte. Also, fibre grass will block the electron from going out of the system until when it is needed. After it is successfully charged, you can connect your phone, and the electron stored in the electrolyte will charge them.
