Founding
president and liberation struggle icon Jomo KENYATTA led
Kenya from independence in 1963 until his death in 1978,
when 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 were viewed as having generally reflected
the will of the Kenyan people. President MOI stepped down
in December 2002 following fair and peaceful elections.
Mwai KIBAKI, running as the candidate of the multiethnic,
united opposition group, the National Rainbow Coalition
(NARC), defeated KANU candidate Uhuru KENYATTA and assumed
the presidency following a campaign centered on an anticorruption
platform. KIBAKI's NARC coalition splintered in 2005 over
the constitutional review process. Government defectors
joined with KANU to form a new opposition coalition, the
Orange Democratic Movement, which defeated the government's
draft constitution in a popular referendum in November
2005. KIBAKI's reelection in December 2007 brought charges
of vote rigging from ODM candidate Raila ODINGA and unleashed
two months of violence in which as many as 1,500 people
died. UN-sponsored talks in late February produced a powersharing
accord bringing ODINGA into the government in the restored
position of prime minister.

The regional hub for trade and finance
in East Africa, Kenya has been hampered by corruption
and by reliance upon several primary goods whose prices
have remained low. In 1997, the IMF suspended Kenya's
Enhanced Structural Adjustment Program due to the government's
failure to maintain reforms and curb corruption. A severe
drought from 1999 to 2000 compounded Kenya's problems,
causing water and energy rationing and reducing agricultural
output. As a result, GDP contracted by 0.2% in 2000. The
IMF, which had resumed loans in 2000 to help Kenya through
the drought, again halted lending in 2001 when the government
failed to institute several anticorruption measures. Despite
the return of strong rains in 2001, weak commodity prices,
endemic corruption, and low investment limited Kenya's
economic growth to 1.2%. Growth lagged at 1.1% in 2002
because of erratic rains, low investor confidence, meager
donor support, and political infighting up to the elections.
In the key December 2002 elections, Daniel Arap MOI's
24-year-old reign ended, and a new opposition government
took on the formidable economic problems facing the nation.
After some early progress in rooting out corruption and
encouraging donor support, the KIBAKI government was rocked
by high-level graft scandals in 2005 and 2006. In 2006
the World Bank and IMF delayed loans pending action by
the government on corruption. The international financial
institutions and donors have since resumed lending, despite
little action on the government's part to deal with corruption.
Election related riots may have hurt Kenya's 2008 performance.
GDP grew an estimated 4.1%. |
