title = {ANALYSING THE LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK GOVERNING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN KENYA},
year = {2026},
note = {The article examines the legal and institutional framework governing
the establishment of nuclear power program in Kenya owing to the
heightened efforts by the government in laying out the plans to
establish the first nuclear power plant (NPP) amidst protests by the
communities. The analysis is done by examining relevant international
law, national law and policies laying down the frameworks and plans
for establishing a NPP. Further, review of documents and literature
has been done to support the analysis. Kenya needs to strengthen the
legal and institutional framework by ensuring that critical treaties
and supporting protocols are ratified in order to align with the
international standards governing a NPP to guarantee safety of its
people and protection of the environment while ensuring that Kenya
progresses in development. There is need to lay out comprehensive laws
and regulations and supporting mechanisms fortheir implementation and
enforcement to enhance management of a NPP.},
