Yester Night while taking Supu ya kishwa pale Kimwa I met a retired senior Civil Servant, who like me, retired from taking the frothy waters and the drink that came from the land of Putin.
He called me aside and told me.. Young man, don't rush in these political things... Things do not always end up as they look.
He told me that in 199i, Moi was in deep political trouble and everything he did backfired. His intelligence guys told him that even if he divided Ford, the Matiba faction was still too strong and he needed some extra help to weaken Matiba
So, according to him.... Moi approached Mama Ngina and three other Kikuyu Billionaires and they agreed to fund a Party called DP.... To him, that is the only reason Kibaki formed a different party instead of joining Matiba in kicking out Moi.... And true to plan, Moi got less votes compared to the Matiba and Kibaki joint rally...
Moi was very grateful for the help Kibaki gave him... And so, he promised to repay back....
Moi then orchestrated what looked like a succession plot that eventually Favored Kibaki... Though they looked like enemies... And propping up a pure neophyte called Uhuru was meant to lock out serious competition for Kibaki and make things easy....
He told me that Moi deliberately supported Project Uhuru, knowing very well that he would lose... And when top officials in his system expected him to order rigging, he simply packed and went to Kabarak...
Moi had a secret pact with Kibaki and the two respected each other and no one ever harassed Moi under Kibaki...
As we finished taking Supu, he repeated... "young man, live long and see many things... Don't rush into conclusions"
I was left with many thoughts after the conversation
-
I remain the last man to believe Uhuru and Gideon will EVER mean well for JAKOM. In kalenjin we say the hyena never changes his spot and the monkey never forgets how to jump trees.
The support extended at best is cynical and half-witted - just a dog-phoney show - it almost appear that Uhuru whisper to his guys to join Ruto one by one - as he confuses the other guy. He may leave Raila with Kioni like maDVD was played.
Ruto can GENUNINELY support Raila 10 times before Gideon Moi or Uhuru Kinyasa does that. Ruto has done that. These guys have never never ever entertained that thought
You ask - what the big beef - ohoo handshake - ohoo mwizi - these are big thieves claiming that corruption is evil :)

Moi said it in 1997 . He had problem with Kibaki. For him Kibaki had what it takes to be the President.
In 2002 Kibaki was his Plan B.

Why would Moi fish a neophyte Uhuru who wasnt even an MP?
I have never understood.
Kalenjin think he became senile. They dont know if he got mad or something - but pulling Uhuru right from Changaa den to overtake Prof Saitoti who had been in leadership for two decades was crazy!
Prof Saitoti had the right kind of mix - if he wanted Kikuyu - he was Kinuthia Musengi Kiarie from Kiambu - if he wanted to lie to Kamatusa - he was a Maasai.
He was almost the candidate to win 2002.
He literally handed the seat to Kibaki or opposition without a fight.
Moi was not stupid but he acted stupid. I cannot discount that maybe he wanted kibaki to win. He definitely never considered Raila despite lying to him openly.

Saitoti was weak, He lost both 92 and 97 Parliamentary elections.
With Uhuru Moi thought he had a trustworthy heir and secondly Moi knew GEMA had the votes . His calculations was that Raila would also run and Luhya split their votes.
History is repeating itself Uhuru is doing the same mistake with Raila .

Weak compared to Uhuru who lost Gatundu!
Saitoti had been in politics since 1983!
He wasnt the politician - a looney mathematician more comfortable with fellow proffesors.
Moi was born politician like Raila or Uhuru or Ruto - who are extroverted and enjoy people company.
Anyway what Moi did basically meant he didnt mind losing to Kibaki - whom he had rigged in 1997 and was going to be the man to beat without him in 2002.
Kanu would have to beat GEMA machinery in 2002 - that was united under Kibaki. That was not going to be easy.
Moi knew that Kibaki was the guy to beat since 1995 - when Matiba burnt his ID.
