That is a brilliant idea.He is usually at Cedars,a hotel that specializes in Lebanese cuisine.Will talk to him and see if he buys the idea.

Better read now without glasses cz you may end up seeing 'shadows' in the book at an advanced age.

Good idea, but mo1 being who he is, he must have forced Lee to take an oath of perpetual confidentiality

I am not thinking of it as snitching and that is why I say he does not have to publish it in his lifetime. There are tens of books written about American presidents and other world leaders but before somebody lynches me and says we are not America, let me say this. 20 and 30 years from now when we have been used to electing a president every 5 years the longest serving president will have served 10 years, there are some who will have served 5 years. Some of you will still be around and a grandson or son of yours will ask you, You mean there was a president in Kenya who served for 24 years. It will sound like stories of giants.

Whether we like it or not the Moi years are an integral part of our history as a country. Lee Njiru has the advantage of having been close to the seat of power for a good portion of his life. He also has the advantage of being a journalist. Remember as head of presidential press service he would also have had video camera footage of all activities of the president during his tenure. I cannot imagine a more qualified person to write a story about that time.

Moi as president was making decisions every day, what were his motivations? How did he view his own presidency? What did he care about? What were his moments of crises and how did he handle them? What were his reflections of his presidency after retiring? I am sure there is a deeply compelling human story of Moi that we have never heard and I am just curious. Remember Moi was the last King of Kenya. Only now as I begin to understand the new constitution do I realize just how powerful he was. Do you know he did not have to consult anybody to appoint a judge or Chief Justice. By law, Moi as president could allocate anybody any piece of land that belonged to the state and it was legal!!!!

Mkwasi,you reminded of Kanyotu,whom his domestic workers did not know his appearence.He was a real mystery.

Na si huyu Lee nilisikia uvumi eti ni kichana ya Mo1? Ama ni porojo? If true, how then can he expose his father? It's not going to happen in our lifetime or another lifetime to come.... well, at least not the juicy stories Kusadikika would want to read...
