Changes

In early 2006, revelations from investigative reports of two major government-linked [[corruption]] scandals rocked Kenya and led to resignations, including three ministers (one of whom was later re-appointed). In March 2006, another major scandal was uncovered involving money laundering and tax evasion in the Kenyan banking system. The government's March 2006 raid on the Standard Group media house conducted by masked Kenyan police was internationally condemned and was met with outrage by Kenya media and civil society. The government did not provide a sufficient explanation. No one has been held accountable.

In December 2007, presidential and parliamentary elections were held, and the president, [[Mwai Kibaki]] was declared the victor. However, there have been allegations of foul play and election rigging, because polling done before the election showed the country supported known Socialist, [[Raila Odinga]]. Riots erupted across the country, between the [[Socialist]] supports of Odinga and the supports of Kibaki. I guess Socialists can't handle losing an election.

After a disputed election, Odinga's party won 95 of 122 legislative seats in parliamentary balloting, and half of Kibaki's Cabinet lost their seats. [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080105/ap_on_re_af/kenya_elections]
