LaikipiaLaikipia is a cosmopolitan district with the mainstream communities dominating the politics; public resources distribution and decision-making processes The pastoralists and hunter gatherer communities only form a meagre 10% of the District population, which is 367,000. The district is also the home of white-owned and managed commercial ranches and horticultural farms. The farms are catching on the poverty of the communities and are using it as a source of cheap labour and children have also not been left out as a way to increase household income. 6.3.4 Affected community Laikipia is originally the ancestral home of the Laikipia Maasai. However, they and other ITPs now form a minority within the District. The rest include the Yaaku, who are hunter-gatherers, the Samburu, and pockets of Turkana and IL Kunono – who migrated to Laikipia and have never got trapped in the maze of poverty and have never moved back to their home –districts. They all form the bulk of the poor and as such their children have been forced to work as a strategy for household survival. 6.3.5 Forms of Child Labour
Tana RiverTana River is one of the Kenyan Districts in the Coast province. It has a population of 188,464. The main activities include crop farming, livestock keeping, mixed farming and small enterprises. The district is categorised among the poorest in the country with a population of over 80% living below the poverty line, most of which are pastoralists. It is ranked among the ten top poorest districts countrywide. Due to scarcity of natural resources, on which indigenous communities are dependent , there has been an increase in bloody conflicts among indigenous communities such as the Waardei, the Oromo and also with the farming communities such as the Pokomo. There is increase and intense competition for water and pasture. The Tana River Development Authority, a Government parastatal, has taken up a sugarcane growing project in one of the swamps used by pastoralists during the dry seasons and it has raised conflicts, which remains unresolved. 6.3.6 Affected Communities The ITPs found in the ditrict include the Oromo, Waardei, Muyoyas, Malakote, Sanye and the Waya. The Oromo and Waardei are mainly pastoralists. The malakote and Muyoya are more or less despised by the pastoralists are known to do the menial jobs. KajiadoKajiado District is situated in the southern part of Kenya and in the Rift valley province of Kenya. The whole District is approximately 21,000 sq. Km. There are 7 administrative Divisions and 46 locations. Politically, the District is divided into three constituencies and two local authorities. Ecologically, the district is categorised as semi-arid and is inhabited by Maasai pastoralists. For approximately two years, the area has experienced a severe drought that has decimated livestock, weakened and reduced household human & social capital including livelihood options. ajiado District is bearing a heavy and uncontrolled influx of immigrants from other areas. It is increasingly becoming an unplanned buffer zone for Nairobi. These unravelling social processes have a strong linkage with Child labour, including its worst forms. The on going land dispossession in Kajiado does mean that more and more Maasai households will be enter into the bracket of the extreme poor and their children will be trapped into the vicious cycle of poverty and will have to work as a measure of support their families. According to the “Geographic Dimension of Well-being in Kenya- Who and where are the poor”, a study by the Central Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of planning and National Development, 2004, Kajiado North Constituency, Kajiado central and Kajiado North has, respectively, approximately 40%, 48% and 50% proportions of the population as forming the poor and out of 210 constituencies they are ranked as 144, 145 and 146, where the most poor constituency is ranked as number 210.
