 How popular is Daniel Arap Moi in Kenya today?-Print
Moi thought that by luring Raila Odinga with false promises to dissolve NDP and join Kanu, he would later have Raila; his one time longest political detainee, where he really wanted him and destroy Raila's political career.
As Moi defiantly objected to open contest for his successor in Kanu in 2002 and instead routed for Uhuru Kenyatta who was yet to win any elective seat in Kenyan politics, the stage was set for a defiant rebellion from within that he had never envisaged.
For Daniel Arap Moi, anybody in Kanu associating with Raila is associating with Moi's living nightmare; and he has not brought himself to accept that Raila Odinga has grown into an independent political powerhouse; capable of influencing the cause of this country's political history just like his father Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Jomo Kenyatta did.
