From a critically unbiased lens, there are some challenges and limitations that are encountered during the application of Kants ethical principle to specific situations in Kenya. A more contextualized and nuanced ethical approach is required to navigate the intricate moral landscapes of political conflict effectively. In this regard, exploring compatibility with other ethical frameworks provides a more comprehensive understanding and approach for addressing political violence in diverse settings.
