Mourning in Kenya for ex-president Mwai Kibaki. Kibaki served from 2002 to 2013. He was considered a political and economic reformer.
Former Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki has died at the age of 90. This was announced by the incumbent Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta in a statement.
Kenyatta paid tribute to Kibaki as a “leading figure” in Kenya’s history, and ordered several days of national mourning until the funeral.
Kibaki left a more united and prosperous country, Kenyatta said. Kibaki was the country’s third president after independence from Britain in 1963, and served from 2002 to 2013. He is seen by many as a political and economic reformer.
Kibaki’s inauguration ended one-party rule in the East African country. The Kenyan constitution was also reformed under Kibaki, presidential power was restricted and decentralization initiated. However, bloody clashes broke out after the presidential elections in 2007, and around 1,200 people died.
