| | CNN.com - Kibaki: 'Has-been' turned hero - Dec. 30, 2002 |
 | | Kibaki has pledged to revive the economy and end Moi's patronage-based style, but critics say NARC represents only an illusion of change, and point out the many recent defectors from KANU that are now among its ranks. |
 | | Kibaki is a late convert to democracy, having once likened campaigners seeking to end the one-party system in the 1980s to daydreamers trying to fell a tree with a razor blade, Reuters news agency reported. |
 | | Educated at Uganda's Makerere University and the London School of Economics, Kibaki is known as an articulate and intelligent politician, with a penchant for witticisms in Swahili, English and Kikuyu, the language of his tribe, Reuters said. |
