During the 1990s, evidence of Moi's involvement in human rights abuses and corruption, such as the Goldenberg scandal, was uncovered.
Kenyatta was succeeded by Daniel arap Moi, who ruled until 2002.
He was constitutionally barred from running in the 2002 election, which was won by Mwai Kibaki.
Widely reported electoral fraud on Kibaki's side in the 2007 elections resulted in the 2007–2008 Kenyan crisis.
Kibaki was succeeded by Uhuru Kenyatta in the 2013 general elections.
