Kenya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1851 words) |
 | Kenya is a republic; the President of Kenya is both the chief of state and the head of government. |
 | Kenya has had a multi-party system since 1991 via constitutional amendment, with politicians frequently "crossing the floor" or setting up new political parties and coalitions to achieve their political aims. |
 | 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. |
