In 1992, President Moi famously predicted this tribal voting pattern at the onset of agitation for multi-partism in Kenya.
“I have refused to allow multiparty democracy in Kenya because it will divide Kenyans along tribal lines. Vyama vingi vitaleta ukabila Kenya. Siku moja mtakubali haya maneno yangu.”
We were still tribal before 1992
Wrong. After 2007 this changed my perception on other communities.
Kikuyu/Luo rivalry started way baaack in time before 1992 during kenyatta senior.
Pia ilikua tribalism, and thats what we have today. People like Kuria campaign in Raila’s name. Without him i dont know what will be his political fodder
Tribalism was there before vyama vingi. This is a 1980 article.

this so called sham democracy is a million times better than the autocratic dictatorship that Moi meted on Kenyans
How is Kenyatta’s regime different from that of Moi BTW?
Kulikua na Hindanet io siku kweli?
You are forgetting it was a least internet era. Few could afford newspapers unlike today age of social media. Ukabila was known only to the elite circles who could buy the damn newspapers.

Kikuyu/Luo conflict began in a disco in 1925

Self fulfilling prophecy. His time in office reinforced tribalism in Kenya due to his excessive nepotism.
Tumekubali. Lakini hata hivyo, a one party state is not a democracy. Ni kama China.
why the hell should we talk anything regarding mo1’s achievements
Both Moi and Kenyatta practiced nepotism. Njoroge Mungai was a cousin while Mbiyu Koinange was his brother in law yet they were both in the cabinet.
Moi ni billionaire kaa mimi … Enuff said.
During Moi’s government incompetence, tyranny, grand corruption and institutional failure became the norm. The problems that occurred in those 24 years we wasted can still be felt today.
