The closeness of the vote has raised fears that fraud and intimidation may be used to try and swing results in a nation that has enjoyed relative stability and become east Africa's economic power- house since the end of British rule in 1963. All except one of the public surveys since September have put opposition candidate Raila Odinga -- a 62-year-old businessman and former political prisoner -- a few points ahead of President Mwai Kibaki, who won in 2002. Just one recent poll, by Gallup, put Kibaki a point ahead, showing that all is still to play for in an election entertaining Kenyans' minds far more than the festive season. Around the capital Nairobi and other major towns, sparse Christmas decorations were swamped by party colours and vast posters of the main candidates. "This is not likely to be a season of good cheer due to the very human clash of wills between contenders for political power," wrote the Daily Nation in a Christmas Day editorial. "As a result, society is more polarised than ever before." Odinga called a Christmas Day news conference to repeat allegations of fraud plans. He said there was "incontrovertible evidence" Kibaki's ruling Party of National Unity planned to rig votes by dressing up armed state security men as plain clothes polling agents. "I've appealed to President Kibaki to prevail on his agents against election rigging acts that could plunge this country into bloodshed," he said. "My appeal has gone unheeded." Odinga said he had letters and videotapes proving the plot." "They (the policemen) were issued each with 1,000 pre-marked ballot papers to be stuffed by them," he said. Kibaki's party has repeatedly denied opposition claims of plans to rig the poll. ECONOMIC CREDENTIALS After a rough campaign, including several deaths and riots, many locals worry about more trouble on the day. "The temptation to rig is always there, but it is heightened by the fact the election is very competitive," Koki Muli, co-chair of a domestic observers' group, told Reuters. Her group, the Kenya Election Domestic Observation Forum, is sending between 17,000 and 20,000 locals to most constituencies across Kenya. International missions, from the African Union to the European Union, also abound, though smaller in number. They will be assessing the state of democracy in Kenya which experienced a rarity in African politics five years ago -- the largely peaceful transition of power from a "Big Man" ruler. Analysts say a possible "nightmare scenario" is a narrow government victory, aided by rigging. "Then you are going to see the Raila camp go absolutely ballistic, because they've led polls," a Western diplomat said. He predicted such an outcome would produce rioting in Nairobi and Odinga's western homeland Nyanza. Kibaki, 76, elected a legislator for every term since independence, hopes his economic record of average 5 percent annual growth will win him a second term, before then retiring to his highland farm. He has the support of his economically powerful Kikuyu tribe, the largest of Kenya's 40 or so ethnic groups, and has tempered his aloof image with skilful grassroots campaigning -- in Mandela-like flowery shirts -- in recent weeks. Odinga has the ardent backing of his western Luo community, but has also garnered support from other ethnic groups who think the Kikuyus have had it too good under Kibaki. Dubbed the "kingmaker" for helping Kibaki's 2002 win, before splitting with him over a referendum in 2005, Odinga belongs to one of Kenya's elite political dynasties. His father is left- leaning independence hero Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. Both men are pledging broadly similar policies of increased economic growth along free-market lines and an extension of free education to include secondary schools. Some 14 million of Kenya's 36 million people are eligible to vote from 6 a.m. (0300 GMT) to 6 p.m. (1500 GMT) on Thursday. Official results are expected to start coming in from Friday morning, though media surveys will give a picture overnight. The winner needs simply to get more votes than the other contender, plus 25 percent in five of Kenya's eight provinces. Analysts say both Odinga and Kibaki should garner the latter easily, meaning a runoff is highly unlikely.

In Naivasha Town, more than 1,000 clerks pelted Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) officials with stones before police dispersed them. Returning officer Christopher Ajere said the clerks had been misled that the money offered to them was lower than what their colleagues in other constituencies were earning. He said that the Sh4,200 was the standard payment across the country but the clerks asked ECK chairman Samuel Kivuitu to clarify the matter. Standard figure But speaking in the city Tuesday, Mr Kivuitu said the clerks were entitled to a standard figure of Sh4,200. In Molo, police also used tear gas to scatter angry clerks at Njoro to rescue a returning officer, Mr Laban Korellach. The clerks, most of them said to be university students, surrounded the clerk’s car and demanded their pay. The clerks, some waving copies of the Daily Nation , showed Mr Korellach a report indicating that clerks in another constituency had been paid Sh7,000 each. Mr Korellach told the Nation that each of the clerks was entitled to Sh5,100. “They’ve worked for six days for which they are entitled to Sh4,200 and an allowance of Sh900 each,” Mr Korellach said. But 72 polling clerks from Laikipia East, who recently protested at what they described as poor pay, were dismissed. District election coordinator Stanley Mamaiyo said the officials had been replaced. “Everything is under control and we now have a team of 815 clerks who will report at all our polling centres on Thursday morning,” he told the Nation . On Monday evening, more than 800 clerks marched for four kilometres to the ECK office in Nanyuki to demand better pay. Some of them refused to hand over the service agreement forms and asked their colleagues to storm out of Nanyuki High School where they were undergoing training. Food allowance They argued that the Sh1,500 given to them as transport and food allowances on top of Sh4,200 was not enough. “Our colleagues outside this constituency are getting a higher and we believe some officials are pocketing the money,” they alleged. Mr Mamaiyo dismissed the allegations saying that pay was uniform countrywide and read a circular signed by Mr Kivuitu. In Keiyo, over 600 clerks threatened not to work during polls. They claimed that they had been underpaid and some declined to take the oath to conduct the election saying their allowances were too low. Area ECK coordinator Willy Rono said the clerks were paid Sh700 per day for six days. In Eldoret, Mr James Tuwei, a clerk claimed that their counterparts in Nairobi were being paid Sh10,000. Area ECK coordinator Martin Cheruiyot said propagandists had made his work difficult, noting that clerks had been cheated that they will receive Sh15,000. “Some people spread rumours that Sh15,000 was to be paid out, but we have already talked to the clerks and they have taken the offer,” Mr Cheruiyot said. But at the Coast all clerks had been trained and had agreed to take Sh4,200 offered the election team. Mombasa district election coordinator David Mwakesi said the officials had been briefed of the pay and none had protested. In the city, ECK commissioner Pamela Tutui asked the clerks to “accept our terms or go home.” “We have dismissed clerks in Machakos who thought the wages were too little,” she said at Embakasi.

Mwai Kibaki, 76, is seeking a second term, boasting a solid economic record and continued stability, while former political prisoner Raila Odinga, 62, seeks to clinch the job that has eluded him and his father for so long. For the first time since the 1963 independence from Britain, Kenya's 14 million voters were heading to the country's 27,000 polling stations with no certainties on the winner's identity. Hundreds of people carrying their voter IDs could be seen flocking to polling stations before dawn, lining up when the first ones opened at around 6:00am (0300 GMT).

  • Republic of Kenya Ministry of Foreign Affairs And
    REPUBLIC OF KENYA MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE STRATEGIC PLAN 2018/19 – 2022/23 APRIL 2018 i Foreword The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is mandated to pursue Kenya’s Foreign Policy in accordance with the Constitution of Kenya, with the overarching objective of projecting, promoting and protecting the nation’s interests abroad. Kenya’s Foreign Policy is a tool for pursuing, projecting, promoting and protecting national interests and values across the globe. The underpinning principle of the policy is a strong advocacy for a rule-based international system, environmental sustainability, equitable development and a secure world. This desire and commitment is aptly captured in our vision statement, “A peaceful, prosperous, and globally competitive Kenya” and the mission statement: “To project, promote and protect Kenya’s interests and image globally through innovative diplomacy, and contribute towards a just, peaceful and equitable world”. The overarching goal of this Strategic Plan is to contribute to the country’s development agenda and aspirations under the Kenya Vision 2030, the Third Medium Term Plan and the “Big Four” Agenda on: manufacturing, food and nutrition security, affordable healthcare and affordable housing for Kenyans. We are operating in a period of rapid transition in international relations as exemplified in the unprecedented political and socio-economic dynamism within the global system. A robust and dynamic foreign policy grounded on empirical research and analysis is paramount in addressing the attendant issues presented by globalisation coupled with power shifts towards the newly emerging economies which have redefined the diplomatic landscape. These changing dynamics impose on the Ministry the onerous responsibility of ensuring coherent strategies are developed and deployed to adapt to these global realities while at the same time identifying the corresponding opportunities to enhance Kenya’s global competitiveness in line with the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Third Medium Term Plan.

  • THE SONKONIZATION of NAIROBI: How Mike Sonko Is Reshaping City
    By Dauti Kahura On June 2, 2010, the then Speaker of the National Assembly Kenneth Marende declared the Makadara seat in Nairobi vacant. The MP, the late Dick Wathika had lost the seat after a successful petition by Rueben Ndolo, a former holder of the seat (2002—2007). The by election was slated for September 20, 2010. Three weeks to the by election, I had an interview with Wathika — popularly known as Mwas, his mtaa (estate) nickname — at a posh Nairobi hotel. He was in his element: exuding an unusual confidence. He boasted to me how he was going to wallop yet again his opponent Ndolo, who was contesting on an ODM ticket. Finding him vain, I reminded him the fight was no longer between him and his known adversary, but was now going to be a three-pronged battle, which in my view, needed a different tact and strategy. A third contestant had entered the fray and his name was Gideon Mbuvi Kioko alias Mike Sonko. “Wewe Dauti ni nini sasa…kwani umesahau kule tumetoka?” (You Dauti what’s up with you? You’ve forgotten where we’ve come from?), he chided me. “Huyo ni nani unaniambia stori yake. Ndolo ndiye opponent wangu. na nitam KO.” (Who’s that you telling me about? My opponent is Ndolo and I’ll knock him out). Wathika, in his heydays, just like Ndolo was an amateur boxer, the only difference being Ndolo had taken his boxing a notch higher and fought as a professional. Within two and a half years, Sonko was transformed from a political neophyte to a juggernaut.
