- From torture, arbitrary arrests and detention without trial, President Daniel Arap Moi, Kenya's second president ruled with a proverbial iron fist. and despite the introduction of multiparty politics in Kenya in 1992, Moi played tricks to ensure he remained in power.
Oginga Odinga and Kenneth Matiba consequently failed in their quest to unseat Kenya's autocratic leader.
This documentary exploits things Moi exploited. Here is Enock Sikolia.
Guess what History is repeating itself. Ruto was Moi's best student. Good luck Kenya
Uhuru was moi student too
@@djZezeman Uhuru and Ruto are on the same team. Thr only outsider is Raila.
Aki this drum background music ruins your beautiful documentaries.
Some of us like sleeping while watching good documentaries like this.
and now we have Moi 2.0 about to be sworn in . I pity kenya 🇰🇪
Kenyans forget so easily.
You can taint his image but any Kenyan must pass through the system to be president .Say the same to Uhuru Kenyatta and stop making noise
History doesn't repeat itself, man always does.
Great content, would be better though without the background music.
Kindly remove the background music and upload
True to the word,.... KENYAN HISTORIAN
Finally general kiguoya ended up being the 3rd president of Kenya. The best we had.
Well done!
Great Kenyan history!! Amazing content Enock.
Music is everything, the only reason umeskiza yote
Good content ☑️ Kill the music though or reduce the levels
if we had Matiba, JM and Kibaki leading the government imagine where we would be...
....big country out here, jaribu utembee uone
In hell, we would all have gone to hell in a basket
Goldenberg scandal would have never happened. Our democratic space could have been expanded so much and economic development stimulated
Matiba and kibaki had sober resolution for the country.kibaki got opportunity to exhibit his. JM was a populist!!
@@avatar3879 you don't know Matiba you. The man had a problem with pride, he was filled with pride, he was given to saying the weirdest things about poor people.
He once said that he does not understand how someone can be poor, he jokingly on another occasion said that he would invent a mill to crush poor people into flour.
He was also very, very vengeful. He was filled with revenge, he was intransigent and stiff necked. Matiba had Kabogo's pride and pomposity, he often bragged how rich he was.
Another of Matibas flaws is that he said the darndest things. You should probably read his 1992 manifesto; you will laugh a good measure. On agriculture, his solution was to build large, huge water tanks on Mt Kenya, then pump water from Lake Victoria, and then pipe that water, using gravity no less, all over Kenya for Kenyans to farm with and drink. Matiba's inanity knew no bounds.
Kibaki was Kenyatta and Moi's project.
JM was not a populist, he was a communist, the worst sort of person to be is a communist. And as the old saying goes, "The only good communist is a dead communist"
And that's where we are heading once again, what a shame
reduce the background sound bro, please....
or use that emotional one or mix them....
check that of kim jong un done by nat geo, the dictator's dilemma...
anyway good work bro
for sure those who do not know history are for ever condemned to repeat
Call Moi what you may but he was able to let it go amicably.
Very true.
Amicably after being pushed by IMF externally and local politicians like Matiba who were agitating for democracy
He was forced by circumstances and age.
I beg to differ at first 4 years of moi as prezo kenya was still advancing economically then the kiambu mafia started playing dirty, the 82 our Nile brother we all know him tried to pull one si tuna jua results. As much as we can blame moi governance let's not forget who ignited the fire
Great documentary, but were the drums really necessary?
Hizo drums😂😂
Aongeze kayamba tusifu.
great content on Kenyan history.
Good job very interesting
love your work,kindly the music/drum's background let it go...just an open honest opinion tho'
Educative content.. professor of politics mzee moi aliona mengi
Dark days
Saba Saba,freedom fighters..freedom we are experiencing today is because of the past sacrifices and struggles
In the long run, after the results of the 1992 presidential election, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga ended up being the spoiler, of course together with Kibaki.
After the 1992 elections Oginga Odinga never lived long enough to be the spoiler. He died 2 years later in 1994.
Am talking about the 1992 elections. Jaramogi was 4th.
@@KenyanHistorian he died after 1year
@@omogambinyachae1090 how was oginga a spoiler?...and who was not a spoiler?
@Omogambi Nyachae in fact, Kibaki and Matiba were the spoilers. Before the disintegration of FORD, Jaramongi was the presidential candidate but then the split happened
the drums my God
Now this is history.
It is not Moi who divided the opposition in the 1992 elections - KANU lacked even a quarter of the wit required to execute such a complex operation. It is British machinations that successfully divided the opposition and saw Moi illegitimately back to office in 1992 with 36% of the vote. Here is how it happened:
1. After Matiba and Rubia addressed the first press conference to agitate for multiparty, they immediately left for Jaramogi’s Agip House. They had long meetings there and elsewhere, but the agreement was that Jaramogi would be the candidate, Matiba his VP.
2. Moi arrested and tortured Matiba and Rubia. The torture rendered Rubia dysfunctional, and Matiba semi-dysfunctional. Matiba was taken for treatment in London. Here, he would have many guests, but one is of great significance, and they would spend whole days talking politics. Matiba promised this guest that it is Jaramogi who would be FORD’s candidate. This guest had befriended Matiba in the 70s. This guest had worked hand in hand with Matiba to grow football talent. This guest had been a striker for the Luo Union, and later the team’s coach. This guest would visit Matiba’s Kiharu home, where they would spend the entire weekend during those early days of the ‘70s. Matiba had found this guest particularly useful because of his organizational skills, and his connections within the football fraternity. This guest is none other than Raila Amollo Odinga.
3. The other guest that Matiba received who is important for this story is Lynda Chalker, then a member of the British cabinet. Baroness Chalker of Wallasey was in charge of the British Overseas Department and Africa, and was a leading Conservative politician. The Fall of the Berlin Wall had made British conservative politicians rekindle wild dreams of resuscitating the ‘empire upon which the sun never set’ to compete in the new international system (the sun set on the empire in 1956 when Eisenhower ordered them out of the Suez Crisis - they, together with their equally second tier French sidekicks). Conservative politicians whose riches had been derived from their plundering of other countries in the guise of ‘British Empire spreading civilizations’ were still hopeful that Pax Britannica could be reawakened once the Soviet Union had fallen. They failed, Hon. Chalker herself was defeated in that years’ parliamentary election.
But before British elections, Chalker was the Conservative's fronts woman, deployed to persuade Matiba to run in the 1992 elections, and not support Jaramogi. Well, Britain had a born to chew with Jaramogi, and they were ready to go to any lengths to ensure that Jaramogi did not have any chance of holding the title ‘President of the Republic of Kenya’. The bitterness stemmed from the early 1960s independence negotiations where Jaramogi had insisted on freedom for the Africans and not the multi-racial society that right-wing British settlers had been advocating for in Kenya (and which Mboya and Gichuru had been ready to support as a pre-condition for power). Chalker and her team kept intensely bombarding Matiba with all manner of political advice and strategies of how he was better than Jaramogi and how he could exploit his support to become President. Matiba remained non-committal; he wanted Jaramogi as the candidate.
4. It is Matiba’s indifference that made Britain activate its old money networks within the Gikuyu oligarchy. Well, this oligarchy was the product of Kenyatta-era crony capitalism and state capture. This oligarchy had been suspicious of Kenneth Matiba and his wide following among the Kikuyu poor masses. And so, like a thunderbolt, Kibaki, on Christmas Day in 1991 resigned from KANU and later formed the DP party. Kibaki did not know it, but he had been used in the wider scheme of things. First, to ensure that Matiba runs, so he does not lose the Kikuyu masses to Kibaki, but achieve the twin objective of ensuring that Mzee Jaramogi did not have any chances. When Kibaki declared his candidacy, Matiba became furious. He now had no option but to run. Britain had achieved its goal.
5. Moi was jolted when Kibaki left KANU for DP. KANU feared that if Matiba did not run, then Kibaki would carry the entire Mt. Kenya vote, and Moi would have no chance. Moi was praying for a divided opposition but the British maneuver had gone too far. And so Britain stepped up the other part of the plan, which was to convince Matiba that he was too popular and, hence should not leave the seat to Jaramogi. To that effect, government agents covertly organized the planned reception at the JKIA for Matiba. For the first time, KANU allowed Matatus to freely ferry supporters to JKIA without harassment. The media had been allowed to broadcast this event, again without harassment, for the first time in history. Matiba was coming! The objective of this highly choreographed grand reception was to convince Matiba that he was too popular, hence should insist on popular elections of the FORD presidential candidate, and depart from the consensus they had agreed on earlier.
6. Matiba, still guilty of the possibility of betraying Jaramogi, sent his aides to Raila Odinga with one special request. Here was the plan - once Matiba had landed and before the media could broadcast his embarking from the plane, Raila was to immediately board this same plane, then reemerge with Matiba. The image of Matiba, and Raila beside him, descending the steps from the plane, would send the strongest signal - that the ‘old’ era of kina Jaramogi had passed; that Matiba would become FORD candidate and Raila, his Vice President. Raila did not buy the plan, he was never ever going to betray his father (as narrated in the Flame of Freedom)
7. Matiba arrived to a rousing welcome. He was sure he would be president. FORD split into two. KANU was more worried about the monied Kibaki, and their support from Britain, than Matiba (according to Hornsby). Election papers were printed in Britain in this election, and the extent to which Britain meddled in the 1992 elections deserves further objective analysis. Shikuku Oyondi cast his lot with Matiba. Jaramogi picked Muite and Wamalwa as numbers 2 and 3 respectively. Elections came and Moi was first with 36% of the vote. Matiba second with 26%, Kibaki third with 19% and Jaramogi fourth with 17%.

It's true that Kenneth Matiba was the best president that we never heard.The guy managed Kenya Breweries so well.
We are back to those dark days .We asked for it saying blindly "freedom has come".
The background music is annoying
Nice, but I feel this video should have been a bit longer…
This things are about to come back how saf
The beating of drums in the video is so unnecessary plz cut it.
Kenyan politics is so ruthless and cut-throat. Mind games and power games never end. You need to be a master chess player to survive!
N then someone says raila brought freedom in this country Matiba was the one who pioneered democracy in kenya
Ruto is not MOI 2.0 .
We have politicians from the mountains who have stolen enough. Rather Rift than mountain.
Rather mountain for ever
Please kindly no one need s the background music 😢😢
The story doesn't fully tally with the title unless it was Nyayo's hand that made FORD to split. Or making Kibaki to vie to make the kikuyu vote split.
Stop the beats while taking
what is this background noise please remove that it adds no extra value or emotion to the videos
