Information On How Two Presidents Of Kenya Accumulated Vast Wealth And How The Third Broke A Promise To Stop The Madness

It is said that birds of the same feather tend to flock together. Thus it has not surprised anybody that families of the two first presidents of Kenya, namely President Jomo Kenyatta and President Daniel Arap Moi have been very close for sometime now. But what has worried, shocked and really puzzled many is the recent developments that have seen a president elected by Kenyans mainly on the promise of dealing with the political ruling class, now openly warming up to them and their ways. It should be obvious that you do not deal with corruption without touching on the political ruling class.

It raises questions on President Kibaki that will probably be best answered an analyzed when he is out of power.

However for the record, Kenya's first president accumulated land like there was no tomorrow and his kitchen cabinet dealt ruthlessly with anybody who dared stand in their way. That was why many Kenyans supported the ascending into power of a simple former Kalenjin teacher who had to be persuaded for days on end to enetr politics in the first place. Many saw Moi as the sort of character that would never fit it with the emerging political ruling class, and therefore one who would break the country out of the dangerous foundation of looting laid by the first president. Alas, it was not to be. Where the first president had an appetite for rich fertile land (the old man would lick his lips whenever he talked about arthi yenye rotuba meaning fertile land) the second had an insatiable appetite for companies and businesses.

Here is a transparency International list of companies still owned by former President Moi and his associates and proxies;

Secondly it is useful to remember that Raila Odinga is on record for defending former President Moi when the then new Narc government wanted to recover most of these assets on behalf of the people of Kenya.
