... or so it seems. In the midst of the struggles and crises rising throughout much of East Africa, struggles in Kenya are erupting once again as well.
Last month, the United States and Britain suspended education aid to Kenya after auditors accused the government program of fraud. Then this week, Prime Minister Odinga suspended agriculture minister William Ruto and education minister Samuel Ongeri for three months after a corruption scandal in their ministries. The prime minister claims that millions of dollars worth of subsidized maize and education funds have disappeared in recent months said.
But then, shortly after the prime minister made the announcement on Sunday, President Kibaki revoked the suspension. He said Odinga had no power to suspend the ministers and he had not consulted him before announcing the suspension.
Kenya leaders are calling on former U.N. chief Kofi Annan to intervene in the dispute between the nation’s prime minister and president. They are asking for Annan's “immediate intervention.”
Let us hope and pray that a full crisis can be averted.
