Its political landscape was also marked by political upheavals experiencing three revolutions to depose a president.

Some reforms were instituted in the aftermath of the 1997 Asian Crisis which strengthened its economic fundamentals. The growing number of its educated citizens are beginning to demand better governance thus prompting the government to implement economic reforms albeit in a gradual phase. The biggest challenge for the country however was how to stamp out corruption as it had beset the country for decades. Recently, a campaign to clean the government seem to be fruitful as the country are showing gains in economics despite the recent financial recession.
