Uhuru and Ruto, various commentators insist, should steer the nations financial ship much as Kibaki did. They should take some lessons in Kibakinomics, to borrow columnist Jaindi Kiseros phrase. Other numbers show what an impact better governance can have on peoples lives. Between 2002 and 2011, the average life expectancy in Kenya rose from 51.97 to 57.08. Infant mortality __ the number of children that die before their first birthday __ fell by 7.6 per cent every year between 2003 and 2008, the highest rate in the world, prompting the World Bank to commission a report titled: What has driven the decline of infant mortality in Kenya Kibaki miserably failed to unite the country. He was a mediocre politician, and the sense of ethnic exclusion fostered during his first few years in office is the main reason he is not universally loved. On the economic front, he was a considerable success, and the huge middle class which has made Kenya one of the main places major multinationals want to set up shop on the continent is his legacy! #Murithi Mutiga is a Chevening Scholar at the London School of Economics
