If you work for a not-for-profit, which as it happens, I do, you're allowed to download Google's Kenya data in shp or kml format. Mikel's entry above discusses some of the restrictions in place on the data and compares with OSM mapping. Related is a previous post on OpenGeoData about the state of OSM in Africa:
