Abstract: This paper takes a closer look at civil society-state and global relations in the hybrid regime of Kenya, through Critical Discourse Analysis developed by Norman Fairclough. The paper looks closer at diverse sets of text produced by various actors such as the Kenyan state, Global institutions and local civil society actors. The analysis concludes that the hybrid regime of Kenya has consolidated power towards civil society through discursive and institutional means. Furthermore, it concludes that local civil society circumvents local hegemony by connecting to global patterns of institutional and bureaucratic language.
