 Daniel arap Moi
Born in Sancho, Baringo district, Rift Valley province, Daniel arap Moi was raised by his mother following the early death of his father.
Kadu's aim was to defend the interests of the small minority tribes, such as the Kalenjin[?] to which Moi belonged, against the dominance of the big Luo[?] and Kikuyu tribes that comprised the majority of Kanu's membership (Kenyatta himself being a Kikuyu).
In what probably were the country's first free and fair elections, a rainbow coalition of opposition parties routed the ruling KANU party, and its leader, Mwai Kibaki, was elected President by a large majority which was confirmed on December 29, 2002.

 The EastAfrican on the Web
Moi himself would like to be remembered as the misunderstood statesman who steered Kenya through the minefield of ethnic politics, delivering the country from debilitating civil strife.
Moi's failures on the key issue of human rights, as well as his inability to curb the blatant corruption that destroyed Kenya's once vibrant economy, are particularly heavy millstones around his legacy.
Moi, for all his alleged humility, decency and religious nature, will probably go down in history in ignominy, because he failed to realise that the fundamental reason for politics is public service, and not an endless Machiavellian power game where common citizens are no more than pawns.

President Moi has been a dominant political figure in Kenya and indeed Africa, both during the pre and post-colonial periods.
This in itself attests to the fact that whereas Kenyans have had some concerns with the way the Moi administration has dealt with certain issues, he still commands a soft spot in most of their hearts and a lot of people identify with him.
What is factual though is that President Moi has been a dominant player in Kenyan politics during both her pre and post-natal stages, and as one of Kenya's founding fathers, he will always enjoy a dignified place in Kenya's history books.

 Kenya: Massive election defeat for Arap Moi
The massive defeat of KANU was largely due to a last minute strategic mistake by the octogenarian Moi who attempted to impose an un-sellable Presidential candidate on KANU thereby splitting the party down the middle.
Last year, as pressure mounted on Moi to name his preferred successor in the run up to the elections, the Dictator committed an expensive mistake that cost the party the elections on December 27.
The major reason why Moi failed to keep his promise to Raila was because Moi was scouting for a puppet who could safeguard the political and economic interests of the Kalenjin ruling class that also formed the core of Moi's kitchen Cabinet.

President Moi, who "is naturally more at ease in male company, than with women," divorced his wife Lena (Helena Bomett) in 1974 after 25 years of marriage and a brood of eight children.
Moi, who as a child "was not ambitious" (he was literally goaded into politics by the late Moses Budamba Mudavadi) and even many years into politics people rarely paid attention to, was on succeeding Kenyatta referred to as "the passing cloud." No one ever thought he would be in power past the constitutional 90 days.
Moi is ultimately depicted as a godsend for Kenya, a country ravaged as it is with fractures of tribalism and clanism, a country in which "rumour is the currency" of the day, a low-trust society.
