Much of the literature on the impact of NGOs on politics and
democratization in Africa relates to their potential for 'pluralizing civil
society' as suggested by Michael Bratton (1989b). However, this assertion
has not been adequately demonstrated. This paper seeks to demonstrate
the proposition by examining organized efforts by Kenyan NGOs to lobby
for their own 'enabling environment.' in response to the introduction of
lhe Controlling NGO legislation. The NGOs si-ccesses in this arena, I argue,
are milestones in defining state-civii society relations in Kenya.
