Mzee Lee Njiru is so spot on and oozes real facts and wisdom. He saw it all for 46 years at the center of power wueh!! An encyclopedia volume book would be a best seller. I'd love to have a copy in earnest. May he live healthy and longer to educate us more on Kenya's hard charging democratic politics 🙏 💯.

But never at any point Antagonize, dishonor, disrespect your Boss, BEST WELL KEPT SECRET IS.... "MANAGE YOUR RESPECTFULLY, VERY WISELY DISCREETLY & HONORABLY, AND THE REWARD/DIVIDENDS AWAITS YOU" Some of these qualities Above were the practices of PRES D.T Arap MOI around his Boss Mzee Jomo and no wonder Jomo found him trustworthy for long...The Reward Followed Him!!!.

Mr njiru said he could have written the book before moi died because it would have not been published because it touches on moi private life that was not supposed to go public.

[@nativeson1559]

Njiru was a pressman. He is a journalist. His work was to cover Moi. Obviously he didn’t always do it himself. The PPU had other journalists under him who took notes and Videos of everything Moi did. He had no such power to order Moi around. You cannot contain a president ….a healthy functioning president. You will be dismissed.
