Credit goes to Moi's decision to allow a bloodless transition which stabilized Kenya's political landscape, Moi would've prepared his son to take over but he didn't. In Uganda, Museveni has been in power for close to 40 years now and he's refused to allow a power transition and to worsen things, he's preparing his son to take over and this is the exact reason a revolution is inevitable.

As someone who was 12 yrs old when Moi came to power, i like to say his 24 into three phases. 1978-82, 1982-92, 1992-2002. The first was the honeymoon phase. The second was the brutal dictatorial phase. The final was the multi-party and transition phase. One other not is that the term Kalenjin was not used in the first Kenyan census. Instead the various Kalenjin communities were divided and counted. But due to Mois paranoia over coming from a small community, all subsequent census started counting Kalenjins as one community.

Good research, Growing up in Kenya in the 90's Moi knew how to politically manage ethnicity as his 24 years rule one could think war could erupt anytime but it was always minimized until 2007-2008 during his successor's regime. As for dictatorship, he can be considered a Disciplinarian or a dictator depending on the observer, but he lead the country through the 80's without any successful coup. When it comes to corruption, many believe it was high but the people down there had money and commodity prices were cheap making his regime one of the most memorable as he said "mtanikumbuka" meaning you will remember me, by the time of his death if he could ever contest to become the president again, he would win with a landslide victory.

Not necessarily. It was corruption by choice. Botswana never went down the drain of excessive corruption and autocracy. Those autocratic and kleptocratic leaders found across Africa during that period had multitudes backing them. It is those imbecilic multitudes that should be held to account and judged harshly by history. The mentality one comes across Africa is " Yes, he was a thief, but he was our thief. At least he shared with us whatever he stole!" Or, "Yes he was a dictator but he was our dictator". How can a people move forwards with such mentality?

@mkhuselimazungula6345 Год назад

There's other factors involved like religion and capitalism. If the leader is socialist the country gets sanctioned or the leader is killed, usually at the request of Western capitalist countries. If the leader is religious and capitalist the leader becomes a pawn used by the Western capitalists to suppress socialism and while extracting precious minerals for enrichment of Western capitalist countries. The power grabs and rags to riches forms somewhere in between.

@edwinndirangu659 3 месяца назад

Maintaining stability during the cold war might not have seemed to be a big challenge in Kenya. Most of the popular Kenyan leaders post independence were not communist by any stretch. Apart from Oginga Odinga, it is hard to find a popular leader back then who might have had Communist leanings. Also Mboya helped slow Oginga's influence as he split the Luo block and was even more popular then. Kenyatta was very careful and highly intelligent on who he surrounded himself with ideologically considering he was once a communist during his time in London. The biggest fight against socialism in Kenya was probably against JM Kariuki and University Students in Moi's time where he banned Soviet Literature including the Green Book

At age 14, I was on a family vacation in Kenya in Nov. 1978, just weeks after Moi assumed power.

We had arrived from Riyadh (where we lived at that time) with a street map of Nairobi (given to us by the travel agent in Riyadh). Needless to say, the map was of little use to me, as Moi had quickly set about renaming several streets in town in the weeks after that map had already been printed and sent to tourist offices abroad.

@Kittygacha_playz 2 года назад

I disagree. Kenyas stability was set long ago by the founding father Jomo Kenyatta. I always say that Kenya was very lucky to have a 70 yr old man as its first president as compared to some of the younger hot headed leaders in other countries. Stability was very important to Jomo to the extent of ruthlessly crushing his perceived enemies. So note that Moi's ascension to power in 1978 was very smooth and peaceful.

@adelbom-o 2 года назад

@@Kittygacha_playz you know what. It is one thing to establish principles, quite another to follow the principles. He followed the principles established by Jomo despite his dictatorial approach. Similar principles such as two terms madate only were put in place in Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, Guinea, etc., but many presidents didn't follow suit and this led to instability in these countries. So at least Moi didn't change the two terms principles. It could have changed even if it creates instability just as it happened in the countries mentioned above. You are lucky in Kenya.

Moi was a good President 👍🏽 He was very keen in Education. He realised that he could not win or defend his own traditional values because the British were an upheal to fight. Moi should be remembered as a person as someone who knows you can do better than him. Also makes sure you have an easier way. I loved him very much.

yes he was a teacher.my late dad was in the same district Iten with him.he left teaching and ventured into politics when the representative of rift valley Hon Dr Tameno resigned and Moi took his place.i was in same primary and high school with his sons .imagine starting that humble way and ending up being one of the most autocratic,repressive and richest presidents.....Question...why do humans change so much with power?

Atleast Kenya was generally peaceful during that time, many African countries during that era were under siege in pursuit for gaining power from the colonial governments, also leadership by the colonial whites by proxy has not been accounted for, it is easy to pin all blame on one individual

@TheKaysti Год назад

As much as Moi’s regime is largely criticised for corruption and ethnicity over the 24-year rule, his predecessor was largely responsible for the introduction of the same egregious twin axis of evil. Kenyatta and his kitchen cabinet set the country on the wrong path immediately after independence. They defined the current system of leadership which, Kenya grapples with; a leader is corrupt, selfish, takes care of only his own. As much as Moi had his challenges, it is important to circle back to where and when the rain started beating the nation of Kenya; immediately after Kenyatta ascended to power. Unfortunately, due to the fact that he was the first president, he rarely is criticised and is held in awe.

Moi was not a bad person, but he had to survive in the political game. He was only responding to the political issues, the people around him were the ones who did some of this things. The only problem with him is he over stayed as president. There was a need for him to leave the stage so that another person(kibaki) could make changes which the country needed. Moi`s story shows that God can elevate anyone to the highest office.
