Face globalisation challenge, says Moi
President Daniel Arap Moi of Kenya has said African states must work together to meet the challenges posed by globalisation.
Opening parliament in Nairobi, Mr Moi said African leaders should concentrate on creating a stable political climate for investors rather than wasting time on what he called 'endless wrangles'.
The President said a new anti-corruption bill would be put before parliament, which would address shortcomings in the existing act.
Last year, bills to fight corruption were voted down by a combination of opposition parties and rebel members of the ruling party.
The International Monetary Fund has demanded that Kenya take robust action against corruption before it lifts its suspension of loans to the country.
