Kenya 'near to collapse'

President Daniel arap Moi said yesterday Kenya was on the brink of collapse and he was reviewing relations with international donor agencies that had forced 'dictatorial and suicidal' reforms on the country, Reuter reports from Nairobi.

Mr Moi said the West wanted his government to raise bank interest rates by 45 per cent, cut the civil service by 45,000 by November, and remove remaining price controls on essential commodities.
