 Kenya's constitution states that it is a multi-party democratic state founded on the national values and principles of governance referred to in Article 10.There are three arms of government, which operate independently and work to balance each other, based upon the "Separation of powers" principle.Before the 2013 general election the Judiciary wouldn't be considered as independent as it is today, and before the 1992 elections Kenya wasn't a multiparty state - all power was centered in the Executive with Daniel arap Moi as President.
