| | The beginning of the 1990s has ushered in positive developments in the political arena in Kenya. For the first time in nearly two decades, the moving forces of our history have imposed on the political agenda the demand for democracy and political accountability. The ruling clique and its organ, Kenya African National Union (KANU), has been pushed on the defensive and forced to engage in a convoluted propaganda exercise calculated to legitimise the continued rule by the unpopular and undemocratic Moi. The political assassination of the foreign minister, Robert Ouko in 1990 has not only discredited the regime with its imperialist allies, but more importantly, has demonstrated that all is not well within KANU. The national outcry following the death in controversial circumstances of the regime's maverick critic, Bishop Alexander Muge, has once again demonstrated the unpopularity and the complete disarray within the Moi regime. |
