In their proposals, the team suggested that all set books should be by local authors and with content relating to Kenyan life. It specifically cites the works of leading Kenyan author Ngugi Wa Thiong’o, saying his works should heavily feature in the set books. Literary works are embedded in English, which comprises the study of English as a language and the study of Literature in English. KICD has released new set books that will replace those whose timelines have lapsed. For literature in English, set books by Oxford, KLB, Longhorn, Spotlight and East African publishers have been picked to replace the existing ones.
