by Daniel Ooko NAIROBI, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- Former UN chief Kofi Annan arrived in Kenya late Sunday to assess the pace of political reforms made in the implementation of the agreements that ended the country's post-election conflict last year. Addressing a news conference after his arrival in Nairobi, Annan said the purpose of his trip was to get a better understanding of how the National Dialogue agreements are being implemented some 18 months after the formation of the coalition government. Annan, who was involved in brokering a power-sharing deal which calmed the country after inter-ethnic violence had killed more than 1,000 people, said he was very pleased to be back in Kenya after almost a year. 'I have been following events in Kenya very closely and clearly, the Kenyan people are expecting more from the Coalition Government- - more unity of purpose, more progress on the reform agenda, more concrete actions to end impunity and combat corruption,' he told journalists on Sunday evening. 'Those sentiments are understandable, and I will be urging the Coalition Government to listen to the voices of the people and do more to push forward the essential reforms,'Annan said. During his four-day visit, Annan who successful mediated the country's post- election violence will also hold discussions with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, members of the Dialogue Team and other political leaders. Annan is also expected to exchange views with representatives of civil society, including religious leaders and the business community, and other stakeholders regarding the reform process. The former UN chief said far-reaching reforms such as the ones agreed on during the National Dialogue negotiations last year will necessarily take some time, and a lot of hard work, not only on the part of the government but on the part of all Kenyans. 'And yet, with a sense of urgency and national spirit, it can be done and done in a reasonable time,' he said. Annan's arrival came after the Kenyan government released its score card on the implementation of the reforms that is different from the one issued by the Panel of Eminent Persons. Government spokesman Alfred Mutua said the reforms were on schedule and on track and that performance grade stood at 90 percent. In an advertisement placed in Sunday's local newspapers, Mutua said reforms in the constitutional review are ongoing and on schedule and so are those on land, boundary, police and the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission. He said electoral reforms were in place and ahead of schedule together with those on judiciary, youth employment and National Cohesion and Integration Commission(TJRC). Mutua said the Cabinet is set to discuss the implementation of 11 major recommendations in two weeks. 'The reform agenda is on track and will be undertaken and completed for the sake of all Kenyans,' Mutua said, adding that the final report on police reforms will be released in two weeks. He said a committee of experts on new constitution will 'soon' publish a harmonized draft for discussion by public while a sessional paper on land reforms is to be tabled in the parliament when it resumes. The Independent Boundaries Review Commission, he said, will roll out public hearings, to receive views on the demarcation of boundaries in October. He added that a national conference on operationalization of TJRC is slated for November. The cabinet is also set to discuss the implementation of 11 major recommendations on judicial reforms in two weeks, Mutua said, adding that the National Elders conference on national cohesion is also set for October. The Interim Electoral Commission is working on voter registers. But speaking at a news conference, Annan said achieving reforms will depend on the strong commitment and political will of the coalition parties and parliamentarians. 'In Kenya today, there is added pressure to complete the reforms -- including a new constitution, electoral reforms, police and judicial reforms, as well as land reform -- well before the 2012 elections, so as to prevent a recurrence of the crisis and violence experienced after the 2007 elections,' he said. Annan said the challenge is to achieve these reforms before the country enters the next electoral cycle in about one year or 18 months from now. 'That is what I will be discussing here, starting with the two principals, President Kibaki and Prime Minister Odinga, and other political leaders, but also with representatives of civil society, religious leaders, the private sector and others,' he said. The former UN chief visited Kenya last October when he received the final report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Post- Election Violence on behalf of the Panel. Annan's visit came when pressure has mounted on the Kenyan government over the reforms. It also coincided with an announcement that International Criminal Court prosecutor Louis Moreno-Ocampo will also be coming to Kenya in the coming weeks. In a statement issued last Wednesday, Moreno-Ocampo outlined a three-pronged approach that should be adopted to avert a return of violence.
