NAIROBI (Reuters) - Almost two-thirds of Kenyans intend to vote for a new constitution next month although just as many say it will need some amendments, an independent poll has found.
Angered by corruption, land ownership scandals and powerful politicians, Kenyans look set to approve the new legal framework to replace a constitution written at the time of independence from British colonial rule in 1963.
It would limit presidential powers, increase civil liberties and address longtime marginalisation of some tribes, forming a key plank in reforms seen as necessary to avoid a recurrence of the East African country's bloody post-election crisis in 2007-08.
