Former Kenyan President ,Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, dies aged 96 ( 1924-2020 )

Rest with ancestors mr president

The former president of Kenya , Daniel Toroitich arap Moi is dead , he will remembered by many political figures who he nurtured, he stood the test of time from one party system to multi-party democracy in the history of Kenya.

He was the son of the soil , he tamed enemies and united them in 2002 before leaving office, they split and they reconcile , the political turmoil heals and wounds many  but Kenyans suffer, Kenyans are a resilient people, champions of Africa ,may the unity he initiated be the key after 2022. 

He was the president for 24 years 1978 - 2002, revered by some and loathed by others. A political life lies between these two extremes. Differences allowed , the game is who United many rather than who divides them , no equality in politics but equilibrium is what leaders ought to achieve.

He stood the turbulent political trip that shook his presidency , which almost overthrew him at the genesis of his time in office , that was the changing juncture of how he addressed his friends and enemies alike .

Most stadiums in Kenya were constructed in his tenure in office , his tenure is office was marred by nepotism but in his ministerial appointment he appointed many from different tribes and that was his wit to tame the country.

The free, twice a week milk helped many parents who send their children to school and had the opportunity of making education a key to their children upbringing.

A teacher and later a president , he leaves the political field a man to be emulated and revered, he leaves a legacy and being part of the father's of the nation, may his family find strength and may his legacy of 4K club ( Kuungana, kufanya , kusaidia, Kenya ) in schools come back and many of the downtrodden can find a place in social structure to make Kenya a better nation and scale the heights in Eastern and Central Africa

I rose after meeting him in 2006 , I stepp into his vision of a prosperous Kenya a vision that needs courage beyond the grave of world challenges 

For the wrongs he did , president Moi asked for forgiveness and he forgave those he had wronged that was the tone of reconstruction and reconciliation for a man of the modern Kenya , 

The struggle continues 

Rest with ancestors Sir 

Daniel Toroitich arap Moi.
