Flashback: Kikuyunization of Government Under President Mwai Kibaki

Analysis, ,
Lest we forget: One of the major problems during the dictatorship of Daniel arap Moi was not just corruption but rampant tribalism in the appointment of top government officers. When Kibaki seized power in a democratic election in 2002, he said that the era of corruption and tribalism was over.
