Kenya
• Kenya gained its independence from British rule in 1964 under the leadership of Jomo Kenyatta and the Kenyan African National Union (KNAU).

Kenya
• In the 1990s, the international community told Moi that unless Kenya improved their civil rights record, economic assistance from them would be cut off.
• There has been some improvement in the political rights of Kenya’s people, but much more is needed.

Kenya
• Some argue that a traditional, western style democracy does not fit Kenya’s past or traditions.
• The country remains a multi-party nation, technically, but in reality the KNAU still controls most of the government.
