RIP.. But wait ooo, so this man ruled for a whole 24 years? So he actually started ruling 10 years before i was even born and was there up till when I was 14.. .. Biko how long is a Presidential tenure in Kenya?

Do you know Museveni of Uganda started ruling in 86 & he’s still in power? Before I was born & looks like my children may still find him ruling Uganda.

Exmilitant:
He Was Deputy To The First President Of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta. He Took Over When Jomo Died In Office In 1978... He Clung To Power Till 2002 When He Handed Power To The Current President, Uhuru Kenyatta Who Is A Son Of Jomo Kenyatta.

Correction, he handed over to President Mwai Kibaki the best president Kenya has had so far & I speak for many Kenyans.After Kibaki’s two terms, Uhuru Kenyatta took over & he’s on his last term.

That is why till date the most widely respected president is madela ,,,,till date I doubt if such a person still exist (most of them fight for the people and after wards refuse to leave power even when tins don't go their way )

See Uganda ,,,na briefcase person go load money put just to buy bread ,,,
Because of their yeye leader way don die few months back after leaving his office forcefully

If na olden days they for call madela second Jesus Christ in black skin ,,,,

Think you meant Zimbabwe because Museveni of Uganda is still in office.

you are right sir.

LOL it’s ma’am.

He thought he'll live forever.

But at least he died in Kenya and in Kenya's hospital. Not all these Nigerian thieves knows as myopic leaders that can't even buy a common cold medicine in Ass-so-rocked clinic.

LOL it’s ma’am.

oops, thanks ma'am.

All 4 Kenya presidents in 1 picture!

One of the names we loved to hear during history subject class in the mid 60s to early 70s in primary school. Now, you cannot ask a primary or secondary school pupils names of leaders of other countries. What a shame.

May pa Arap Moi soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

He is okd

Baba Moi showed us pepper after the failed coup during his reign.Kenya became a one party state.Roads, schools & other public institutions were named after Moi. He had divorced his wife 4 years prior to taking over power & the word out there is that the children who supported the mother ended up poor. A dictator such that people could be somewhere & if one painted Moi in a negative light, they’d disappear without a trace.Thank God when Kibaki took over power in 2000, he amended the constitution, so a president can only rule for 2 terms.

I for one DO NOT mourn his passing its good riddance to him. He had too many evils tied to his reign - economic stagnation,death of many institutions , death of parastatals ,deaths of prominent people ,tribalism ,endemic corruption ,he illegally stole a white farmer's land (Kabarak High school land) which he later "donated" , stole Mr Kanyotu's 50% share of Corner Hse Nairobi, illegally took another lady's Shs 4b land in downtown Eldoret ,detained Kenneth Matiba & Rubia ,brought one party dictatorship ...and so on.

ITS GOOD RIDDANCE to that old thug actually.May he pay for his many evils in hell.

I thought this old croc has died tay tay,oh Lord why do wicked pple last long?

LOL it is actually.People are trying sugarcoat his evil deeds but really, the man committed a lot of atrocities.Remember how he detained the late Mirugi Kariuki & Koigi Wamwere at the Nyayo torture chambers? Injected Matiba with mercury, ordered the killing of Robert Ouko & all the witnesses disappeared without a trace? Half of news would be all about Moi BS. Can we ever forget the Molo clashes that killed thousands & displaced thousands with much tribe being the victim? Terrible!

All I remember is the man died in a Hospital in Nairobi!!!!
Ours would only die in foreign hospitals unless it is an "emergency"...

Yeah yeah Zimbabwe president

Beyuponpin:
I honestly don't know who he is. Can someone enlighten?

Arap Moi was second president of Independent Kenya ( 1978 -2002) He took over from Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, incidentally father of current president. After Arap Moi was Mwai Kibaki and then Uhuru Kenyatta, current president. So Kenya has had just 4 presidents since independence in 1963.
