Do you have to be a prodigy to teach college classes at age 25?

Are you implying had RAO been involved in planning it would have been well done? As in he is a master organizer? Na venye he failed to organize a nice win in the last elections ama its coz he was already old?

On August 1 1982, Kenya took a turn for the worst. Moi used the coup as an excuse to become even more draconian. He tossed many of the Jomo Kenyatta appointees in prison. Akina Hinga and Ben Gethi etc went to Kamiti Maximum. Njonjo was accused of being a traitor, humiliated and fired. Some people ended up being tortured ay Nyati house. Some were never seen again. Some like Koigi ran for dear life. many students like current chief justice Mutunga were arrested and held for months. Some even years.

Moi also used the coup as an excuse to purge UoN of student leaders and lecturers who were considered the firebrands of democracy. Professor Maina Wa Kinyatti was sentenced to 6 years. Otieno Mak Onyango, Mukaru Nganga et al were arrested and lost their jobs.

After the coup was foiled, blood thirsty Kenya Army officers actually went to the Air Force barracks and used machine gun fire to massacre Air Force staff who had surrendered and raised their hands. Some of it was because army types were jealous of the air force. But possibly because they were told to do so.

It is so laughable to see Railaphobes now sanitizing Moi eti because he supposedly forgave Raila for the coup. What forgiveness? Moi's lackeys held dozens of people in detention and was unable to produce a shred of evidence to support a treason charge. Only Adungosi admitted culpability because they tricked him eti he would receive a reduced sentence. He later died due to poor treatment.

All these people like kina Isaac Ruto, Mutunga, etc were beaten and forced to say who was involved. Even with all this torture it emerged that the coup plotters were the air force junior staff and no one else.

One can say that Moi's operatives were actually behind the scenes encouraging the coup plotters and making them think that the coup was going to be successful. They were actually fed a lot of false information. They were even told that the army was supporting their coup.

Considering that Moi knew about the coup plot months in advance, its a joke to hear people saying he forgave anyone. In fact he ruined many peoples loves and ruined the country.

When I was in upper primary I heard that @bupamba was a gorilla trained bush fighter, so may be he taught the same skills chini ya maji hapo UoN tunnels below the Waiyaki way!
