Kenya: Democracy, Decline, and Despair

By: Frank Holmquist and Ayuka Oendo

Description: "The 1990s saw a great deal of positive political change in Kenya-most notably, relative freedom of speech and organization, [and] regular multiparty elections. . . . But almost counterintuitively, the regime has shrunk into something of a corrupt and hollow shell. . . . As the 2002 election begins to loom, echoes of the repression of the one-party era have begun to be felt."
