Reviews

This excellent book is an in-depth study of public interest law in East Africa. Oloka-Onyango writes clearly on a subject that is close to his heart. [...] His final words demonstrate great wisdom and should be studied in great detail. They are these: We need to deploy public interest litigation in order to move a notch higher and finally to achieve an adherence to the letter of the constitution as well as a more complete adherence to its spirit. These words apply as much to the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany and other democracies as well as to those in Africa. Frank A. SalamoneIona College; University of PhoenixJournal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law, 25.10.2017 The book ploughs through the complex issues relating to judicial struggles over sexual and gender-based discrimination, social justice and poverty and the adjudication of presidential elections in East Africa.
