She was considered among the most arrogant senior government official during Moi's era and is said to have slapped a cabinet minister while she was a permanent secretary in the ministry of foreign affairs.
Through it all Dr. Kosgei managed to become fabulously rich through corruption and other dirty deals that were the order of the day during Moi's era.
Today, Dr Sally Kosgei is a worried woman. She has several cases pending in court including one where she is accused of grabbing a Kenya railways house and selling it at an inflated price to a parastatal organization and in the process making a tidy sum of money at the expense of Kenyans.
And there are other cases where they are witnesses who are more than willing to testify in a bid to exert revenge for her arrogance and brutality while she was head of the public service and secretary to the cabinet.
During her hey days as cabinet secretary, it is said that ministers feared her so much that they would not dare interrupt her when she spoke in cabinet meetings and those who differed in opinion chose other channels to make it known but not by addressing her directly.
Today, Sally seems to have been humbled and is contemplating joining politics in a bid to protect her vast wealth now being threatened.
She is considering contesting a parliamentary seat in her Kericho home district and her party of choice is ODM-Kenya which she of course believes will form the next government. And being an MP from the influential Rift Valley province, she could stand a fairly good chance of being considered for a cabinet post which could put her in a perfect position to protect her wealth.
What she really has to worry about are the numerous enemies she made while serving the previous government. For one, ODM-Kenya leading light Kalonzo Musyoka detests her. He was the minister she slapped while she was PS in foreign affairs.
There are plenty of others who would ensure that she does not get close to power again and will do anything and spend almost anything to make sure that she loses in the party nomination stage so as to suffer humiliation in public and snuff out her political career before it even begins.
