MOI LEGACY: Friends and adversaries describe the late president's character and person

[@alphoncelangat9223]

KOIGI WAMWERE spoke from his heart,the pain he pass through and can not be compared with the chain FRANKLIN BETT passed through under MOI so you can not be loved by every one,every human who was under moi system have different opinion.

Moi was a man who only loved his job the presidency power and all that which comes with it. Moi was NOT a patriot a nationalist or statesman and to call him these names is the height of hypocrisy by some Kenyans and those who benefited from his 24 yrs of misrule. Moi don't even deserve a state burial. Imagine we had a retired former president during the 2007/08 post election turmoil that nearly brought this country to its knees and it took Koffi Annan together with the former head of states of Tanzania Ghana and South Africa to broker peace when the country was burning yet Moi was just around never uttered a word and that is the Moi legacy he was part and parcel of the problem and could never have been the solution. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said that he or she who cannot take a stand in times of crisis and live with it whatever the circumstances do NOT deserve to live. Really Moi did not deserve to have lived in the first place. I personally give Moi credit where it is due and I am giving him 60% credit for a smooth transition and handing over power peacefully to Kibaki in 2002 mainly bcoz Kibaki was a Moi loyalist having served as his VP for 12 yrs and was never a serious political opponent otherwise Moi could NOT have handed power to someone like RAO.

Late President Mzee Moi was a born big star that led Kenya to great heights of prosperity despite being denied aid by the Bretton woods institute IMF, World Bank, etc, and yet, by grace of Jehovah Elohim, he sent peace keeping Kenya Army Millitary troops to restore peace in the troubled European and African countries at their time of their greatest need. What a golden heart he had for suffering human race.

[@ithewakui4839]

No amount of praise can or will erase Moi's name from the list of the world's most cruel leaders, the likes of Idi Amin, Adolf Hitler etc. As much as we would want to paint a saint out of Moi let's remember the blood of those who perished out of his brutality and cruelty is still wailing, none of his descendants will ever know peace to the fourth generation.

You can forgive, but that does not stop us from discussing his weakness.
