SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND CHALLENGES IN KENYA SINCE INDEPENDENCE


SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND CHALLENGES IN KENYA SINCE INDEPENDENCE
Introduction
Kenya got independence on 12th December 1963. On the night of this day, the colonial flag called The Union Jack was lowered and the Kenyan flag raised.

POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND CHALLENGES FROM 1963-1991

Main developments.
Kenya adopted a Multi-party system at independence. The main political parties included:
a)      KANU-Ruling party
b)     KADU-Main Opposition party
c)      APP- African Peoples Party- Opposition party
NB: the president, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta did not want many opposition party. Reason- they would prevent national unity.
At this time, KANU was facing the following challenges:
i.                 Ethnicity
ii.               Ideological difference whereby there were Radicals and moderates in KANU.
The radicals were led by Oginga Odinga, Bildad Kaggia and Fred Kubai while the moderates were led by Jomo Kenyatta, Tom Mboya and James Gichuru.
iii.              Serious rivalry from the opposition (KADU) over federation.

NB: The main difference between KANU and KADU at this time was that KANU favoured UNITARY constitution/government while KADU advocated for a FEDERAL constitution/government/Majimboism.

To do away with the opposition, Jomo Kenyatta authorized his then Vice President Oginga Odinga to persuade KADU and APP to join KANU.
This was achieved by December 1964 as the following leaders of KADU crossed to KANU:
ü  Ronald Ngala
ü  Masinde Muliro

Paul Ngei of APP who moved to KANU earlier had been made a minister.

As a result of this movement, Kenya became a DEFACTO ONE PARTY STATE (by fact and not by law) since KANU remained as the only party in Kenya.

ABOLITION OF FEDERALISM
ü  In 1964, the parliament abolished the federal system which Kenya had at independence.
ü  At the Lancaster House Conference, KANU reluctantly accepted the federal/majimbo system for the sake of independence.
ü  On 12th December 1964, Kenya became a republic with an executive president who was also:
v  the head of state
v  the head of government
v  the head of the ruling party
Main developments in 1964
a)     Kenya became a republic on 12th December 1964
b)     The federal system/ majimboism was abolished
c)      The post of the governor was abolished
