摘要

The finance minister was reportedly overheard whistling "Pennies from Heaven" in the gents. Share prices jumped to their highest level in four years. Last week, the IMF agreed to resume lending to Kenya, and Kenyans are feeling chuffed. It is not the money itself, though $252.8m over the next three years will come in handy. It is the seal of approval that matters. Save for a five-month reprieve in 2000, the IMF had frozen lending since 1997, citing the grotesque corruption of the regime of Daniel arap Moi. Other donors followed suit, as they usually do, and the economy foundered. Then, in December last year, a new president, Mwai Kibaki, was elected, who promised to end corruption and restore the rule of law. His government rushed through legislation to form an anti-corruption commission and to force public servants, including politicians, to declare their wealth. His most eye-catching reform, however, is a purge of the judiciary. Kenya's legal system has been the butt of derision since the late 1980s, when the chief justice took his trousers off, balanced a shoe on his head and goose-stepped around the high-court car park chanting pro-government slogans. While Mr Moi was president, the wealthy bought justice and the well-connected got it free. Those who could not bribe their way out of jail languished there. "Why hire a lawyer when you can buy a judge?" joked Kenyans, miserably.
