Kenya: Bid to reform constitution resumes

Kenya, seeking to end an unhappy era of tribal "Big Man" rule, resumed faltering efforts to write a new constitution on Monday, dogged by feuding inside the government over how to dilute the powers of the president. A constitutional conference reconvened on the outskirts of Nairobi to map out long-awaited reforms aimed at trimming the powers of the office accumulated by former president Daniel arap Moi and independence leader Jomo Kenyatta.
