Kenya

Kenya gained independence in 1963, and the country has remained mostly peaceful since then, despite problems like border disputes. Kenya has a multiparty democracy with frequent elections. Nonetheless, the country faces numerous obstacles. Corruption is a chronic problem that weakens faith in institutions and reduces political efficiency. This has substantial consequences, including a lack of justice in the legal system and significant challenges for genuine enterprises in the country. Transparency International has named Kenya as one of the world's most corrupt nations.

Kenya's political environment is also characterised by ethnic and person-based politics, which leads to a lack of ideology and political emphasis. Political rights and civil freedoms are routinely violated, notably in relation to corruption and political violence, which frequently occur around elections.

Despite these problems, there is hope for a more democratic and secure Kenya as residents continue to demand a democratic culture based on respect for human rights, the rule of law, and accountability.
