Fraudulent practices in banking sector in Nakuru County have led to increased losses and collapse of companies, firms and businesses, hence the need to use forensic accounting services to detect and prevent such fraudulent activities. The banking industry is a very important institution with many internal controls in order to overcome the fraudulent practices. The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of forensic science on fraud detection and prevention among banks in Nakuru County, the most prevalent type of fraud and to establish the major areas of application of forensic accounting services. The data collection instrument preferred for the study was a questionnaire. This study targeted a population of 70 respondents. The population under study was the commercial banks in Kenya and Police officers. The reason being, banks records a good number of fraud and also most of the banks have forensic accountants who conduct auditing and prevent fraud in banks. The police officers receive fraudsters, conduct investigations, handle forensic evidence and prevent fraud; hence, they were included in this study. Findings from the study saw that fraud detection and prevention increased when forensic science services were employed. The study used descriptive research survey design and uses a sample of 47 respondents in 6 entities in Nakuru County. The data was analyzed using Microsoft excel. The study findings indicated that the application of forensic science services by banks led to increased fraud prevention in the bank and the highest application was on enhancing quality of financial reporting. The most prevalent type of fraud in the banking sector was fraudulent expense claims. This study recommends that it is important to revise the company’s organization structure for better alignment with the workings of Forensic Science services. This was to allow for clear functionality of different departments without conflicting with each other. The banks should formulate clear policies to guide the practice of accounting in the banking sector. It was necessary that the internal controls and management be educated and informed of the most common type of fraud and the department responsible so that unreasonable loss of money and fraudulent practices could be addressed.

Abortion (1)
Abortion has been a widely debated subject across the globe in some western European countries being legalized. Unsafe abortions being carried out in Kenya is a leading cause of maternal and mortality. In Kenya abortion is a crime unless under very special circumstances like saving the life of the mother. Nonetheless people still commit the crime through various ways that are harmful both to the mother and the unborn child and may even result to death. The need for secrecy to avoid being condemned, the law, and the perceived high cost of safer abortion, have been known to be the reason why so many of our young women die during this process as they seek help from community midwives, drug sellers and untrained helpers at lower costs. Some of the common methods that have been used include drinking tea that has a high concentration of tealeaves, drinking a lot of undiluted juice and in some cases even drinking a mixture of washing detergent like ‘omo’ has been said to do the trick. The purpose of this study is to determine the perception of abortion among social work students in Maasai Mara University and find out their take on how they think abortion affects people especially the mother afterwards. The general objective of this study is to determine the perception of social work students in Maasai Mara University concerning the topic abortion, while the specific objective of the study will be to find out what social, economic, cultural, and psychological factors that influence the perception or view of the students towards abortion.

Access to resources is the opportunity to make use of a resource for a larger gain and acquiring or gaining possession over the resource. Resources are an important factor in advancing peoples’ autonomy and rights. Assessment of access to and control of resources has been a fundamental tool of gender analysis over the past years and due to gendered division of labour, patriarchal cultural norms and laws and, women in all their diversity have been denied access to resources such as education, health services, credit, land and technologies . The purpose of the study was to determine factors influencing women access and acquisition of resources in Mbeere South Sub County, Embu County. The specific objectives of the study were to find out effect of cultural factors, social factors, influence of perception, attitude and judgment and examine legal requirements necessary for resource access and allocation of resources in Mbeere South Sub County, Embu County. The study adopted the Gender and Development theory from which the conceptual framework was developed. A descriptive research design was adopted for this study. The target population comprised of 650 women participating in women groups. A sample size of 65 women was selected for the study using simple random sampling method. An open ended questionnaire was then used as the data collection instrument for the study. The questionnaire was pilot tested to test for validity and reliability. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study established an association between social cultural factors, legal factors, education and perception and attitudes about women and women access and control of resources. Based on the findings the study concluded that Culture and education have the highest influence in women access and control of resources. The study also established a significant relationship between legal factors, perceptions and attitudes and access and acquisition of resources. The study concluded that women’s access and acquisition of resources is influenced by social cultural factors, education level, legal factors and perceptions and attitudes about women. Conclusions were drawn that the findings of the study support the theory of Gender and Development. It recommends that, legal institutions be strengthened to assist women in their quest for access and acquiring resources. Campaigns and education on the needs to empower women should be done to have a common knowledge on the benefits of the same. The government and the community at large will benefit since the benefits of this initiatives will trickle down to the overall economy. (1)
