Kenya Introduction

Background: Revered president and liberation struggle icon Jomo
KENYATTA led Kenya from independence until his death in 1978, when
current President Daniel Toroitich arap MOI took power in a
constitutional succession. The country was a de facto one-party
state from 1969 until 1982 when the ruling Kenya African National
Union (KANU) made itself the sole legal party in Kenya. MOI acceded
to internal and external pressure for political liberalization in
late 1991. The ethnically fractured opposition failed to dislodge
KANU from power in elections in 1992 and 1997, which were marred by
violence and fraud, but are viewed as having generally reflected the
will of the Kenyan people. The country faces a period of political
uncertainty because MOI is constitutionally required to step down at
the next elections that have to be held by early 2003.
