Abstract

This paper focuses primarily on the practical application of Immanuel Kant’s universal moral principle to the context of political unrest in Kenya. Kant’s universal moral principle embedded in the categorical imperative argues that we should act in a way that our actions can be at the same time be regarded as universal moral laws. The paper applies critical method of philosophy so as to attain the objective. The troubled land of Kenya, beset by political unrest, the infusion of Kantian ethical considerations in the political discourse, charts the pathway toward reconciliation and the construction of a more just political order. A collective commitment to moral principles will thus pave the way for a harmonious society in Kenya, where the voices of her natives are heard and respected.
