	Polity IV Country Report 2003: Kenya
		While the victory of Kibaki's National Rainbow Coalition in 2002 is a promising sign, nevertheless, ethnic-clientalism may work to undermine the temporary unity displayed to unseat Moi and his KANU government.
		President Moi, who led KANU and served as President between 1978 and 2002, attempted to maintain his grip on Kenya's political process through a delicately balanced system of coercion, co-optation and the systematic manipulation of the electoral process.
		In April 2004 the Kibaki government withdrew from the national constitutional conference, the body mandated with the task of drawing up a new constitution, following a decision by its delegates to adopt a draft document reducing presidential powers and establishing a stronger executive prime minister.

		Though KANU became a true national party, it was basically a conglomeration of the three major political parties at that time, namely Jomo Kenyatta's Kenya Africa Union(KAU), Tom Mboya's National People's Convention Party(NPCP), and Kenya Independence Movement(KIM) of Oginga Odinga and Dr.
		KANU thus became Kenya's true national party and the sole pulpit for advocating Kenyan demands to the colonial government.
		KANU's formation is largely attributed to the public outcry that followed Jomo Kenyatta's arrest and detention in 1952.
