President Mwai Kibaki has met and held discussions with former United Nations Secretary-General, Koffi Annan.
Accompanying the former UN Secretary General during the meeting was the wife to former South African President Nelson Mandela, Mrs. Graca Machel who is also a member of the African Panel of Eminent Personalities.
During the discussions President Kibaki briefed them on the progress the country has made in the implementation of various reforms intended to safeguard the gains made in the realization of a stable, peaceful and democratic nation.
In a statement issued in Nairobi, Kibaki noted that the Coalition Government was committed to the implementation of critical reforms in various institutions as evidenced by the publication and release of the Draft Constitution for public debate.
The Head of State expressed Government’s determination to ensure that a new constitutional dispensation is attained by next year.
Kibaki further appraised Annan on the progress made on reforms outlined under Agenda item four agreed upon under the National Accord particularly land reforms which are being addressed by the National Land Policy recently approved by the Cabinet and adopted by Parliament.
Annan brokered a peace deal last year between Kibaki and Prime Minister, Raila Odinga ending Kenya’s worst post election violence that claimed over 1000 lives and displaced over 350,000 people following the disputed re-election of Kibaki in December 2007.
