Kibaki and Njonjo Dominate Kenya's presidential Prospects

Kibaki, from the Kikuyu, educated in Uganda and London, has served in the Finance Ministry for eight years and was finance minister after Mboya's assassination. Charles Njonjo, 58, son of a former Kikuyu elder, remains a controversial and powerful figure close to Kenyatta.
