In December 2002, Kenya held democratic and open elections and elected Mwai Kibaki as their new president. The elections, which were judged free and fair by local and international observers, marked an important turning point in Kenya's democratic evolution.  

In early 2006, disclosure from investigative reports of two major government-linked corruption scandals rocked Kenya and led to resignations, including three ministers. The matter is still pending in kenyan courts following a government position that the issue was related to state security and was therefore conducted within the parameters of the Kenyan constitution under preservation of a public security act.

Keya government has officially declared a week of morning due to a heavy death toll as a result of two dangerous fire incidents within a period of a week. At least 200 people lost their lives as a result of these fire incidents.  One incident took place is market store near Nairobi and other devastating fire incident took place due to oil spill from oil tanker.
