As a Kenyan i feel many leaders in the continent are not serious when it comes to entrenching democratic ideals and Good Governance in Africa. The case of Post Election violence in Kenya after the APRM review is a vivid example of this. It further rubishes the NEPAD idea as impractical since most African leaders are themselves products of impunity hence it is not in their interest to safeguard the public good.<BR/>What happened in Kenya is a clear manifestation of lack of political goodwill in enhancing the democratic process. If the APRM process gave Kenya a clean bill of health then why did Kenyans express dissaffection with the sme leadership?<BR/>I believe APRM is a good way of evaluating the progress of the democratic process but is it not time for us in Africa to be more sincere and not play to the gallery?<BR/>Willis OkumuWiliishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317446636574930508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546271368009403091.post-36906306879682023622008-05-16T06:22:00.000-04:002008-05-16T06:22:00.000-04:00Great to know about this paper.
