Title: Kenya
First published: 1993
Description: This book provides comprehensive information on the geography, history, wildlife, governmental structure, economy, cultural diversity, peoples, religion, and culture of Kenya. Kenya is a land of contrasts. It boasts unspoilt tropical beaches to snow-covered mountains, open savannah plains to gentle rolling hills. There are nomads in the arid regions, mud huts in isolated rural communities, and modern high rise housing in the cities. However, through 50 years of independence, a rapidly growing population and severe droughts has put great pressure on the country's natural resources. Widespread corruption hampers economic development and makes life difficult for Kenyans. As president of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta of The National Alliance (TNA) party faces great challenges in his efforts to steer Kenya to a brighter future. - p. 9.
