It is agreed that all former heads of state had a lot of shortcomings, were tribalists and were engaged in corruption.However all of them did projects that are significant to date.
President Jomo Kenyatta
In spite of his many shortcomings president Jomo Kenyatta was sorrounded by brilliant minds.One of the most significant projects under him was by Tom Mboya-Airlift Africa project which has been remodelled by Equity Bank-Wings to fly. The beneficiaries of the project were Barrack Obama Senior who became a brilliant economist and a romantic encounter during his stay in the US gave birth to president Barrack Obama. and a Nobel Laurette Professor Waangari Mathai was also a beneficiary of the project.Barrack obama has always honoured Tom mboya when he came to Kenya.
President Daniel toroitich Arap Moi
Although he was a Kleptocrat,lived in paranoia because he was almost overthrown and was held in low esteem by the ruling elite because of his low education, his government prioritized education.He owned Kabarak University and High School & Sunshine Secondary school (although acquired questionably) and there were many notable universities that came up e.g. Moi university,Moi teaching and referral hospital both of which produce good medics.The most notable project is Maziwa ya Nyayo a school feeding program that encouraged students to stay and enroll in schools.The school feeding program is still carried out in Kenyan pulic schools by World Food Program to encourage enrollment of poor students to school.
President Mwai Kibaki
Although a tribalist, refused to conceed in the 2007 elections leading to the death and displacement of thousands and various scandals in his government were linked to him, he was undoubtedly kenya’s most brilliant president having come from humble beginings.
1.Free primary education
A brilliant project that recieved praise abroad and support for increaseing literacy levels in Kenya.A movie was even made based on the FPE about Mzee Maruge who went back to school despite his age.

2.Growth of the service sector-Banks,telecommunication,believe me in 2003/2004 we had one of the cheapest and fastest internet thanks to Safaricom.Many billionares emerged even though through patronage.
3.Roads and highways were constructed in many parts of the country. Economy peaked upto 7% growth
What has Uhuru Kenyatta done.Laptop for school failed, last mile project failed, SGR was scandolous and never reached the border and has no major multiplier effect and has put truckers out of business, Big 4 has failed.No major project has succeded under him We have a Kshs.6 trillion debt with nothing to show for it.
