Copyright Violation[edit]

User:Ekayira copied with few changes an entire page from a UK Home Office web site -- which is under Crown copyright for 50 years; sorry, this can't be copied into Wikipedia, where it becomes available under GFDL. (I was curious why the text was periodically punctuated with numbers between square brackets, & did a Google check on a sample string in search of the text's source.)

I've marked the violation, & copied the latest previous version onto the temp page. -- llywrch June 29, 2005 01:01 (UTC)

Vice President[edit]

Does the VP automatically succeed to the Presidency in the event of a vacancy? Unschool 02:59, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Executive Branch[edit]

"The president is elected for a five year term by the people."
- How is the president elected? By a simple popular vote, or is it more complex? 66.233.51.16 07:01, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

President[edit]

Shouldn't the saying that a Luo could become president of the US before Kenya be included? see BBC News 70.55.84.27 (talk) 11:18, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Important notice[edit]

The government section of the "Outline of Kenya" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

Thank you.
