- <p> The pretense of noninterference in domestic affairs that
- usually accompanies economic assistance to the Third World
- slipped last week in Paris. An international consortium
- reviewing aid to Kenya warned President Daniel arap Moi that it
- would offer no new commitments until next May, and then only if
- Moi pushes through economic and social reforms.
- </p>
- <p> Moi's mishandling of the economy and rampant corruption
- particularly frazzled the patience of the donor nations. Nearly
- two years ago, Foreign Minister Robert Ouko was murdered just
- as he was apparently preparing to reveal corruption scandals
- involving senior government figures. After the Paris meeting
- convened, Nairobi announced the arrest of three officials,
- including Nicholas Biwott, a Moi crony who had been named by
- investigators as a suspect in the murder. Moi is now expected
- to call multiparty elections for early 1992.
