Kenyan reforms are not adequate

According to leaked confidential files published on WikiLeaks, the U.S. ambassador to Kenya believes that high-level corruption could lead to a crisis. Ambassador Michael Ranneberger wrote that "failure to implement significant reforms will greatly enhance prospects for a violent crisis in 2010 or before -- which may well prove much worse that the last post-election crisis." The coalition government formed after the 2007 election in Kenya promised future reforms. However, Ambassador Ranneberger does not believe these reforms are taking place fast enough. Kenyan government officials were outraged at Mr. Ranneberger's comments, stating that they "are surprised and shocked by these relations." In addition, Kenya's government spokesman Alfred Mutua added that "some of the statements, for a want of a better explanation, look like fiction to us. It is their personal interpretation of events, they are not God and they can't always get it one hundred percent right." As expected, the massive U.S. leaks published on WikiLeaks have caused trouble for U.S. foreign relations.
