A rainbow coalition of opposition parties routed the ruling KANU party, and its leader, Moi's former vice-president Mwai Kibaki, was elected President by a large majority.

One such event was endorsed by Mwai Kibaki, the President of Kenya.

* November 15 – Mwai Kibaki, third President of Kenya

DVB-T broadcasts were launched by the President of Kenya, Mwai Kibaki on the 9th of December 2009.

Some of the evidence of these torture cells were to be later exposed in 2003 after Mwai Kibaki became President.

Mwai Kibaki, was elected President by a two to one majority over Kenyatta, which was confirmed on 29 December 2002.

On December 30, 2002, Mwai Kibaki was sworn in as the third President of Kenya.

In early 1960, Mwai Kibaki left academia for politics when he gave up his job at Makerere and returned to Kenya to become executive officer of Kenya African National Union ( KANU ), at the request of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga ( who went on to become Kenya's first Vice President ).

When Daniel arap Moi succeeded Jomo Kenyatta as President of Kenya in 1978, Kibaki was elevated to Vice Presidency, and kept the Finance portfolio until Moi changed his ministerial portfolio from Finance to Home Affairs in 1982.

Kibaki fell out of favour with President Moi in 1988, and was dropped as Vice President and moved to the Ministry of Health.

On 29 December 2002, still nursing injuries from the motor vehicle accident and in a wheel chair, Mwai Kibaki was sworn-in as the third President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kenya in a boisterous, chaotic and jubilant ceremony held at the open grounds of Uhuru Park, Nairobi .. " I am inheriting a country which has been badly ravaged by years of misrule and ineptitude ," he stated at his swearing-in, as quoted by Andrew England of the Associated Press.

Kibaki did not look good, for instance, when he appeared live on TV on 25 September 2003 to appoint Moody Awori Vice President after the death in office of Vice President, Michael Wamalwa Kijana.

In November 2004, in an ABC Prime Time interview with Peter Jennings, former US President Bill Clinton identified Kibaki as the one living person he would most like to meet " because of the Kenyan government's decision to abolish school fees for primary education ".

About his decision Kibaki said, “ Following the results of the Referendum, it has become necessary for me, as the President of the Republic, to re-organise my Government to make it more cohesive and better able to serve the people of Kenya ".

Once elected, however, President Kibaki reneged on the MoU.

President ’ s Kibaki Government was perceived as being unwilling to abide by its pre-election agreement with its partners and as retreating into an ethnic enclave.

On 26 January 2007, President Kibaki declared his intention of running for re-election in the 2007 presidential election.

On 30 September 2007, a robust and much healthier President Kibaki launched his presidential campaign at Nyayo Stadium, Nairobi.

The accord, later passed by the Kenyan Parliament as the National Accord and Reconciliation Act 2008 provided inter alia for power-sharing, with Kibaki remaining President and Raila Odinga taking a newly re-created post of Prime Minister.

President Kibaki, the economist whose term as Finance minister in the 1970s is widely celebrated as outstanding, has done much to repair the damage to the country ’ s economy during the 24-year reign of his predecessor, President Moi.

When he came to power in 2003, President Kibaki rolled out free learning both in primary and later in secondary schools.

President Kibaki is the first leader in the East Africa and may be in Africa to bring into place a new constitution, that deprives the presidency off powers and not hang around in power like most African leaders.

Senator Mundt's gross distortion of President Eisenhower's conversation into a denunciation of President Kennedy as too left wing, a statement Mr. Eisenhower declared to be entirely false, is another case in point.

That this is not good politics is underscored by the latest poll figures which show that 72 per cent of the people like the way in which the new President is conducting the nation's business.

Recent statements by the President and Defense Department spokesmen have, to the contrary, assured us that our lead is very great.

In the first place, a large part of the discrepancy between President Eisenhower's estimate of a 1.5 billion dollar surplus for the same period and the new estimate of an almost seven billion dollar deficit is the result of the outgoing President's farewell gift of a political booby-trap to his successor.
