Njonjo inquiry

I always assumed that  Njonjo commission of inquiry was over his connections to 1982 coup. I didn't realize it was over a coup in Seychelles. This is interesting story here put the record straight


Now I have to try to find if Njonjo was involved in 1982 coup or it was all rumors based on his Seychelles involvement

when did Raila say that? I thought Raila said to have heard rumours and on the eve of the coup he was informed of it. The army was reaching out to the political class to have a feel of how they would react.

My friend jaramogi was funding the coup and Raila was actively involved.Jaramogi was put in house arrest and Raila in kamiti..he is lucky to be alive.Njonjo was similarly found guilty of treason but Moi also forgave him

Jaramogi was also engine behind aborted 1971 coup with Ndolo the KDF chief of that time.. Kenyatta's crushed it, put jaramogi &others including my neighbor who was Kenya ambassador to china under house arrest and Ndolo was fired - Mulinge put in charge.

Remember 60-90s was cold war era - with USSR and US competing in funding coups and wars. After USSR death in 1989 - coups in Africa ended because the US had won - and has been dictating stuff in poor countries - and unilaterally launching wars or coups if you are stupid enough to challenge their wisdom of democracy and progress.

The mutiny in Nakuru was not odinga led. It was just soldiers who matinee. Jaramillo explains this in his book not yet uhuru. The arms found in his harambee house office weer destined for Uganda. Kenyatta didn't inform jaramogi until after the mutiny had been quashed.

How was he funding the coup. There was no link to the Odinga. Moi after the coup used this to deal with all the dissidents. The coup was planned and executed by the airforce.

The book entitled: Raila Odinga, an Enigma in Kenya Politics, by Dr Babafemi Badejo, says the coup plotters sought and got the blessings of Jaramogi and that Mr Odinga set up a communication centre at an apartment on Ngong Road from where he and the plotters monitored events.. Like i said the coup plotters were reaching out to the political class. On the eve of coup it was an open secret that the coup was underway among the elites. There is no direct link to Jaramogi or Raila.

Mutiny was in 1966..by mostly kalenjin n kamba soldiers complaining about welfare.. happened in lanet..crusjrd by British officers ...and as aftermath gsu was formed by Kenyatta's and heavily staffed by Kikuyu.Aborted coup by Ndolo and jaramogi in 1971.Unsuccesfully 6 hours coup by jaramogi,raila,ochuka and Luo junior air force officers that concided with njonjo one.Njonjo also killed Tom mboya.Moi knew of the coup but delayed dealing with it..kariuki the airforce commndaer was most likely working with njonjo

No direct link to odinga when he was actively involved in planning.. meeting ochuka and providing funding.. jaramogi and raila were heavily involved but gov choose to keep it military tribunal..and kept jaramogi under house arrest and Raila detained without trial for 4yrs then another 5yrs

Where was the govt proof? They detained raila because they couldn't prove their case if any in court. It was a way of moi to hit at luo dissidents not for participating in coup but for politically opposing him..he wanted to isolate luos further. He targeted most of luo elites sympathetic to jaramogi

Charges..most of 1982 coup charges were never proven in court of law. When you torture witness to get evidence you bound to get nothing with credibility. Per raila he was no where near the coup.
