Introduction

Authority

Although Kibaki inherited Moi's Constitution, his government was not unduly preoccupied with an oppressive agenda. However, he wielded considerable authority through proxies.

System

Kibaki allowed the Cabinet members to exercise considerable autonomy. He also initiated reforms that strengthened many state organs that provide basic services such as water, health and infrastructure. However, corruption continued to reign.

Composition

The government under Kibaki was until the 2005's constitutional referendum, largely representative of the face of Kenya. After the 2007 disputed elections it became bloated again.
