KANU Will Rule For 100 Years – Mzee Moi’s Prophecy That Still Lives On

Mzee Daniel Toroitich arap Moi is dead. His dead was announced on Tuesday morning by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Mzee Moi will be remembered as the longest serving President of Kenya since independence. He ruled Kenya for 24 years.

He took over as the President of Kenya in 1978 after the death of the first President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. Moi was the Vice President then.

The constitution then provided that in the event the President died, the Vice President was to take over as President for 90 days before a fresh election could be conducted.

At the beginning, he was dismissed as the passing cloud but came to grow to become one of the tyrants in Kenya’s history.

At one time, he alluded to the fact that his party, the Kenya African National Union (KANU) would rule Kenya for 100 years. People dismissed him but his prophecy still stands.

Kenya is still ruled by KANU. The forest changed but the KANU monkeys are still the same. The third President of Kenya, Emilio Stanley Mwai Kibaki was initially in KANU. The fourth President of Kenya, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta was initially in KANU. In fact it was Moi who made him who he is today.

Chances are that the next President of Kenya will still be a KANU orphan. The majority of Members of Parliament were in KANU. Basically, KANU is still running the country.

Moi called himself the Professor of Politics and he moulded among others current Deputy President William Ruto, President Uhuru Kenyatta, President Mwai Kibaki and many others.

Mzee Moi was against the multiparty democracy in Kenya. While repealing the Section 2A of the Constitution of Kenya in 1992 to allow for multiparty, he warned of wars and confusions among Kenyans as a result, exactly what has been happening.

As the man now departs, he leaves behind a confused nation that he helped destroy.
