Among the probes was an extensive 1990 inquiry organized by a New
Scotland Yard team invited to Kenya by the government, as well as
an open public commission of inquiry appointed by President Daniel
arap Moi. The commission ran for seventeen months in 1990-91 before
the president shut it down. International and Kenyan unrest over
Ouko's brutal death brought increasing attention to corruption and
violence associated with the Moi government, leading in late 1991
to multiparty politics and in December 2002 to the elections that
ended the Moi era. This powerfully argued book raises important
issues about the production of knowledge and the politics of memory
that will interest a large interdisciplinary audience. An inquiry
into how facts are created and knowledge produced, The Risks of
Knowledge pursues a ghastly murder into the normally unseen worlds
of international business wheeling and dealing, into the rural
"squireocracy" of western Kenya, and into the bureaucratic routines
of Kenya's government. In this, their third coauthored study of
Kenya, the authors show how these unfinished investigations are
about much more than the solution to the murder of a distinguished
Kenyan statesman and world citizen.
