In 1990, a group of former politicians, lawyers and activists formed FORD, the Forum for the Restoration of Democracy, to campaign for the return of multiparty politics in Kenya. They held meetings that were broken up by police. They were arrested, detained and in some cases tortured. Kenneth Matiba suffered a stroke while in detention that left him permanently disabled. But they continued. FORD became the most important civil society movement in Kenyan history, forcing Moi's government to yield on multiparty politics in 1991. Their sacrifice made the 1992 elections possible.
