Interestingly Dalmas Otieno has always been part of the status quo.  One of Luo-Nyanza beneficiaries of KANU misrule.  He is so out of place in CORD it evokes some sort of sympathy.

I highly recommend reading Charles Hornsby Kenya's history. It is very revealing.

Thanks.  I just saw the book on amazon selling for $357.  I'll check with the big library to see if they have a copy.

Does Hornsby also mention Moi relatives rigged in by any chance?

Which Moi relatives are these?  Gideon?  I don't think he requires any manipulation to win in Baringo.

It succinct summary of kenya's political history. Lots of gems there. I am suprised my third home now - Nakuru - Kalenjin were less than 5% in 92- I recall in the last census Kalenjin were more than 37% of Nakuru--Kalenjin themselves were fifth largest tribe in 79/69 -overtook Kambas in 89 - Luos I think in 99 - and were third in 09 - seem by 2022 - Ruto doesn't have to worry - Kalenjin may then be Kenya's largest tribe.

Got it.  I hate to do that.  But who the hell buys a book at $357?

Very revealing. TheKkenyan elite are all relatives. From Kenyatta's era to date. Cheserem a brother in law to Kulei. Tonje - in law to Moi. So and so and in law. Thanks to likes of Ruto, Sonko,

Am on page 603. It has become impossible to read a book to its end these days. All sort of distraction. I envy those who can do it.

Share other interesting ebook on Kenya- As much as it seems unethical Africans have lagged behind for not sharing knowledge, reason am pro piracy. Are those Leakey volumes on Kikuyu history available as ebooks?
