		Kenya is in the process of rewriting its post-colonial constitution and its subsequent amendments that gave the president nearly unlimited powers and immunity from the law accounting for many of Kenya's current problems with corruption.

	Party politics in Kenya, 1963-2000
		In Political Parties the republic of Kenya was described in early 1979 as "a one-party state that is not without threats to its stability".
		Kenya has been, since its independence from the United Kingdom, a country with a capitalist oriented economy, a stable political system and in general been viewed as a friend of the West.
		As (at the time) a de facto single-party state, Kenya retained "a system of open party primaries, in which aspirant candidates were free to stand" which ensured a high level of competition within the party at the same time as KANU did not face any challenges at general elections held during this time period.

	THE HENRY MARTYN LECTURES 2005 "Religion and Politics in Kenya"
		Yet in Kenya Islam is a minority faith, and a potentially secessionist one at that, in the minds of its two main minorities, the Somali pastoralists (and gun- and drug-runners) of Kenya's north-eastern deserts; and the Swahili and Arab townspeople of the Indian Ocean coast.
		Nonetheless Kenya's political theology, a local version (some might call it a local subversion) [12]of a theology of liberation, has borne a cyclical tendency to worship the state, a matter to which I will return in my later lectures.
		Indeed, insofar as they comment on politics at all, they would say it is the conviction of personal salvation in the country's rulers, rather than their respect for democratic rights and procedures, that is the only sure recipe for honest and just government.
