        Western style democracy works bc the westerners get to invade,steal resources, colonize,amass wealth from poor countries (capitalism).

        Not only in Africa but in every country where it was imposed upon. The western democracy is a hoax

        It's only a hoax when sort of officials in power fail to do what's right by the people and for the people of the country...

        Judging by the unwanted immigration policies of Western countries it's hard to believe democracy works anywhere.

        Every country in Africa except South Africa has a dictator that keeps its money instead of investing in its people huge natural resources

        If you see the chaos around Trump and the polarization of US between winners and losers, perhaps it eventually failed in West too.

        Kenya has Cambridge Analytica and "fake news" problems imported from the west.

        Since Western-style democracy has failed in America, and NO ONE seems to care enough to find out why, why are we surprised about Kenya?

        Not failed, just decades too early for the developing Africans. Their traditional systems are still hard-wired into their culture.
