  • This is the story of the great political game, that drove the late President Daniel Arap Moi into power, the race to end his 24 years of his dictatorial rule and the gamble that led to the historic victory of the opposition outfit led by retired President Mwai Kibaki and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

      I watched a documentary about civil land issues in Kenya, and it stated Jomo Kenyatta (and 'others') {please be smart and leave politics out of this and see this for what it is} bought land from Europeans in the spirit of redistributing to displaced Kikuyus, but never did. His or successive governments.

Moi was a very passive and quiet vp, ruto is the opposite, moi could be disprespected by kenyatta cabinet and not fight back ruto cannot, moi bowed to the moves of kenyatta and cabinate ruto can stand up to his boss to even deep issues like constitutional change even when thousands have been placed to hackle him and still did. The only similarity between ruto and moi is they speak kalenjin and of the same gender

Ruto too. Moi hid his cold, brutal and vindictive side in the church. Ruto too. Moi looted the Turkwel - Gorge project, Ruto looted Arror, Kimwarer and Itare. Moi killed local industry, Ruto looted Galana kulalu. Both of them have no ideas on how to run a country, build stronger institutions and grow the economy. It is not news that Ruto will re-establish the same backward, divisive and mediocre politics as Moi. And the result will be a violent kleptocracy that will brutally stifle any form of dissent.

When Moi said Kanu will rule Kenyq for 100 years, what he really meant was tbat those he had meant was that those he had mentored and worked with in Kanu would succeed him and continue leading in the Kanu manner for over 100 years. And he was right because those politicians know no other method, whatever new party they may form.

While all other African nations were held up in coups that have ailed and ail them to date, he held Kenya in a vice like grip that kept the country stable. He had his flaws as a man, but he executed his role, and purpose with precision. Rest in peace your excellency MO1
