| Description | President Obama on Thursday praised the passage of Kenya's new constitution, which was approved by an overwhelming majority amid claims that the United States improperly meddled in promoting passage of the document, which contains controversial abortion language.
Results showed nearly 70 percent of Kenyan voters backed the document that would set up a system of checks and balances while scaling back the broad powers of the president -- those powers were established during the finals days of British rule decades ago.
Obama applauded the Kenyan people for approving the document and conducting a "peaceful, transparent and credible" vote. |
