One year after the impressive victory of Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki and his National Rainbow Coalition (NARC), the new administrative coalition still struggles to find an enduring balance of power. The overwhelming issues of economic revitalization, poverty, AIDS, and infrastructure, in addition to the critical fight against corruption at all levels of public service, requires substantial reforms by the administration. Unfortunately, the desire for reform does not translate into a coherent policy, and the individual measures that have been taken have limited effects and run the danger of frustrating hopes and efforts.

Sie gefährden den Zusammenhalt der Regierung und damit auch die durchaus nicht geringen Reformfortschritte des ersten Regierungsjahres.
