| Tlo historyczne | Founding president and liberation struggle icon Jomo KENYATTA led Kenia from independence w 1963 until his death w 1978, when President Daniel Toroitich arap MOI took power w a constitutional succession. The country was a de facto one-party state from 1969 until 1982 when the ruling Kenia African National Union (KANU) made itself the sole legal party w Kenia. MOI acceded to internal and external pressure dla political liberalization w late 1991. The ethnically fractured opposition failed to dislodge KANU from power w elections w 1992 and 1997, which were marred by violence and fraud, but were viewed as having generally reflected the will of the Kenian people. President MOI stepped down w grudzien 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 w 2005 over the constitutional review process. Government defectors joined z KANU to form a new opposition coalition, the Orange Democratic Movement, which defeated the government's draft constitution w a popular referendum w listopad 2005. KIBAKI faces a tough reelection challenge from leading opposition candidate Raila ODINGA w polls slated dla late 2007. | Founding president and liberation struggle icon Jomo KENYATTA led Kenia from independence until his death w 1978, when President Daniel Toroitich arap MOI took power w a constitutional succession.

| Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | $768.3 million (2005) | $453 million (1997) |
| Ekonomia | The regional hub dla trade and finance w East Africa, Kenia has been hampered by corruption and by reliance upon several primary goods whose prices have remained low. In 1997, the IMF suspended Kenia'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 Kenia's problems, causing water and energy rationing and reducing agricultural output. As a result, Produkt krajowy brutto contracted by 0.2% w 2000. The IMF, which had resumed loans w 2000 to help Kenia through the drought, again halted lending w 2001 when the government failed to institute several anticorruption measures. Despite the return of strong rains w 2001, weak commodity prices, endemic corruption, and low investment limited Kenia's economic growth to 1.2%. Growth lagged at 1.1% w 2002 because of erratic rains, low investor confidence, meager donor support, and political infighting up to the elections. In the key grudzien 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 w rooting out corruption and encouraging donor support, the KIBAKI government was rocked by high-level graft scandals w 2005 and 2006. In 2006 the Swiat 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 z corruption. The scandals have not weighed down growth, z estimated real Produkt krajowy brutto growth at more than 6 percent w 2007. | The regional hub dla trade and finance w East Africa, Kenia has been hampered by corruption and by reliance upon several primary goods whose prices have remained low.
