I have some photos of my mum with Moi when he visited the school where she was headmistress.

1st first time I saw him walking with uhuru in 2009 or around..to burning Ibrahim house next to nation.I remember seeing uhuru and my mp then kones..they were tall..I saw Ruto..medium height. ... nye.. nyeWe met President Kibaki and Ruto as a family at a public event when one of us won a National award. Ruto was then Agricultural Minister and yes Kibaki was taller than Ruto which confirms that indeed Ruto is only of medium build. There is nothing anonymous about meeting a President in the flesh so pictures of that meeting proudly adorn our living room walls. Anyone who wants a copy can ask me to inbox.
If I were you fake einstein I would not have divulged that information on a public forum. Behind what @Pundit calls Moi's smart suits was a consummate womanizer. With all due respect to your mom, she was also a statistic? During Moi Presidency it was an open secret that Moi visited schools with women headmistresses and had affairs with ALL of them with exception of NONE! That is why the Principal of Pangani girls Mrs Ruth Cheruiyot had kiburi like hell. Moi girls headmistress also a mistress. Moi was responsible for the demise of Lenana school even though his son went to that school and got expelled while he was Vice President. On becoming President Moi forcussed more on Girls schools not because of their education but coz of the headmistresses. Why lie, I used to supervise the registration desk of international conferences in Gigiri and each time Moi and his entourage swept by just a yard next to me, I felt that awesome power in the air that this remarkable man possessed at the time. Wueh! Any woman could have been week kneed at such power. Was this power solely because of being President? Mayne not. How come when I took up a similar posting when President Mkapa came by, that aura or earthquake wasn't there for down to earth shorty Mkapa?

I've heard of the many headmistress rumours, including sijui Moi Girls Nairobi, Alliance Girls etc. That's why I added that mtoto ya Moi disclaimer. There's zero chance that my mom and MO1 could have been an item in any way. They met only once and my mom is practically a Mother Teresa type saint who can't be bought by any amount of money.
But Moi was special. I only noticed this recently. The man even had a stylish fade at independence.

Thing about Moi is that he was very wealthy and unlike say Uhuru, he was very generous. Meeting him could be a life changer. I think that contributed to the "illusion" of power. And these days social media and many other factors have made leaders much more accessible, so there's no mystery to them

1st first time I saw him walking with uhuru in 2009 or around..to burning Ibrahim house next to nation.I remember seeing uhuru and my mp then kones..they were tall..I saw Ruto..medium height.

Why are you lying?
It's public record when you stated that you live in kijani ridge times ago.I don't have time to do search.
When Ruto left affordable housing project,Only the OJ Bypass Junction was closed by police officers.If you were in Tatu city you could have used Kiambu road.No entrance of Tatu city did the police blockade.I was in Tatu city that moment heading to Kiambu.
One time you are at Kamakis Ruiru.Another time you are Spa mall ruiru being chased by thugs.Another time you are in unity homes.Then your daughter used to study at Crawford Ruiru.
I think you live either at Kamakis,Unity homes like most bloggers or Lifestyle apartment opposite Nova.
Its just the media and brainwashing . What audacity experienced was not power but being start struck . In contrast Mkapa not being a celebrity by those standards then as he was not being shown on television daily didnt hit him as a celebrity.
Young ones and ladies get easily start struck .Thing about Moi is that he was very wealthy and unlike say Uhuru, he was very generous. Meeting him could be a life changer.

Moi raped women and Kenya for 24yrs, it’s sad to see idiots here trying to revise history. You are worshiping a village idiot who walked around with stolen money to compensate for his insecurities and lack of education, the only thing that made him feel superior is subjugating others and enriching himself at the expense of the country. May he rot in hell, some of us derived some satisfaction looking at his dead bloated body. Moi should be a lesson to all African leaders, work on enriching the country, become rich in the process and leave a wonderful legacy, life is short.
Well, I'm sure you've all interacted with Ruto online.
Back in the day, Ruto used to lurk in the online diaspora.
I thought he was unremarkable so quite surprised he's now the president. Kudos to him.
Dream big fellow Nipateans. Anything is possible, literally 8)
Everybody knows that Moi was a terrible leader. We know that he and everyone around him stole like there's no tomorrow. We're just being objective and discussing his other facets. He was brutal to opposition, but who wouldn't be in those days, in Africa?
He, to the surprise of the people around him, repealed Section 2A of the constitution, giving rise to multipartyism. The opposition should blame themselves and not him, for not uniting and unseating him in 1992. He gave them the opportunity to do so.
He didn't hang on to the presidency like neighboring Ssebo and so many others, he exited bila drama in 2002. Kenyans stoned him and he asked for forgiveness. Kenya was still able to hold her own compared to other African countries, even with no natural resources -- no civil strife etc. I think the foresight behind his Peace, Love & Unity philosophy went over our heads though. I mean, it only took just one 5 year term without him at the helm for us to nearly tear this country down.
We like to imagine how the country would have been had Kibaki taken over in 1978. But there's a good chance that Kibaki and many like him would probably not have been able to navigate the political environment of the 80s, which potentially could have plunged the country into chaos.
To me, Moi is like that terrible father that we hated as children. But you grow up, and consider all the factors that he had to deal with, you don't excuse his badness, but you make an effort to understand it a little better.Moi raped women and Kenya for 24yrs, it’s sad to see idiots here trying to revise history.
