Moi chose uhuru from nowhere politically, but harrudly took him through a crush success program to succeed him, over looking heavy weights like Raila and Saitoti.
During a speech one day while the youthful Uhunye was there, Moi said.‘‘nime chagua Huyu, (uhuru) na Huyu hata beba mzigo kama yangu, ata beba zaidi kuliko yangu’’
What did moi really mean? Uhunye will perhaps have a heavier obligation to safe guard both his family and that of moi as opposed to what Jomo left on his back, just to safe guard kenyatta family ? Or was he talking about Uhunyes burden of uniting 6the country?
Wadau let’s Discuss
Uhuru would oversee the implementation of the new constitution, ensure the continuity of the status quo, quell the tribal animosity in Kenya, ensure political stability is maintained, deal with the madness of the Odingas and Luo nation, bring on board the slow-thinking Gideon Moi into the national kingpins committee, deal with changing Western and Eastern world economic fortunes etc etc. Enyewe being President Uhuru has been no joke. Ama vipi my brother @johnpombe ?
