Daniel arap Moi and one-party rule (1978–1991)
This chapter examines Daniel arap Moi’s succession to the presidency in 1978 and his efforts to consolidate power.

Following the failed coup of Aug…

This chapter concerns with the role of the colonial police in the post-war period, from the beginnings of the political disturbances that heralded the Mau Mau movement to the political settlement that led to Kenya's independence. If the Kenya Police initially found difficulty in adapting to their increased responsibilities in the countryside, they were equally uncomfortable in the towns during the 1940s. The shape of a rapidly rising rate of urba…

Elections and political legitimacy in Kenya
Though it began independence as a deeply divided society after the trauma of Mau Mau, Kenya maintained one of the open political systems in Africa despite its formal one-party status. National elections provided a device by means of which new blood could be incorporated into the regime. More recently growing economic difficulties and the insecurity of President Moi have greatly intensified authoritarian tendencies. Elections have increasingly bee…
