Daniel Arap Moi Kenya's professor of politics, brutal and corrupt dictator
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2021
- Moi’s legacy is a contested issue with proponents arguing that he was a significant political leader in Kenya’s history; who stabilized and united the nation in the 1990s while neighbours like Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia descended into civil wars; and who handed over power peacefully in 2002 without much incidence? In contrast, his critics point to the problems that his regime oversaw and to the centralisation of power, culture of impunity and sense of an ethnically biased state with which Kenyans still grapple today.
In this video we explore Moi's dictatorial rule of Kenya
I grew up thinking Moi was loved by every business owner because his portraits were everywhere even in classrooms. We were brainwashed.
Lmaaaaaaooooo
Kikikikikikiki!!!! I am laughing in Idoma, a language in Nigeria 😄😄
@@emmanuelgbeho947 easy brother
If your business didn't have the portrait , the secret police just might have asked dyou some questions
Same as SADDAM IN EVERY class room in iraq.

@@emmanuelgbeho947 thanks 😊
HIS RUNGU WAS NOT WOODEN , IT WAS MADE OF PURE IVORY AND SMALL GOLD PARTS
And a Ruby stone at the neck.
He was not the first but the second dictator Kenyatta entrenched corruption and impunity in Kenya
He was the worst though
@@peonyflowers23 nope. He was the same with the other one,
Before Moi,very few Kenyans emigrated permanently .After Kenya's economy was destroyed in the 1990s,many Kenyans (most of them all well educated) left the country never to return.He,his cronies and children all became billion/ multimillionaires ,all from middle class.I should know...I went to primary & high school with some of them & they were very humble & polite... before power!
Very true watu walikuwa watolewa high school to jyst go coz even thr gradutes could get employment Diaspora everywhere no more comments
What is wrong with that,you have no evidence!
Even right now everyone is striving to be on better level. It is human nature.
@@alexandermutakha882 go do your research and you will see that he is right. Kenya has had some bad leaders, but Moi was the worst of them. Kenya's GDP per capita stagnated for the 24 years of Moi's presidency. That is almost a quarter of a century just gone like that.

I am Ugandan but spent my Childhood in Kenya in the 1980s. I remember seeing his photographs in shops. I even saw him some time in 1986 when he came to Muranga town and passed by Kahuhia Girls High School in an open Landrover where my mother was a teacher at the time from 1982 to December 1988. The school girls, teachers and children had been given small Kenyan flags which we waved outside the main gate when he passed by. He waved his scepter as his convoy slowly passed by. He gave a very brief address to the sea of mainly school girls because he had to rush to some place. This video brings back nice memories.
He was a very brutal man,anyone who crossed his ways was either killed or better off exiled.To date some people are still away from Kenya.Unlike Kibaki n Uhuru where people insult them n walk freely,it was opposed during his tenure,he employed his kalenjin people,the most illiterate ones were police officers,that's why most officers up to date picked kalenjin accent because they thought that was the language.
Mtoto wa mwalimu just like me Not 1986 but 1987 I remember he was going to Ngandu girls. I remember matiba telling us to shout nyayo for someone in karuri and gathinja trading centers can hear us.
Hey, Sam, at the time your mum was a teacher at Kahuhia Girls, my sister was a student there ! I was at Njiiri school at the time too..86 to 89....When Mrs Tindyembwa was the headteacher.What a brilliant teacher your mum was.. wishing you all the best in your endeavours.

Wow. Kenyans went through it. Uganda shall overcome too
i was a white (german) kid grewing up in rural tanzania. and nairobi was the first big city i ever saw. and it was so insanly impressive. i thought this were the biggest houses of the world
Than you went to Berlin and rest is history 😂
This quite an intriguing and painful documentary. We enjoyed listening to your detailed research story telling. Unfortunately, this behavior of Moi is still seen today amongst some current African leaders 😫
And yet he had the guts to say he'd forgiven those who wronged him so casually
This is one of the best channels on RUclips
Kenya is one of the most beautiful countries in Africa, too bad their leaders were corrupted.
I'm old enough to remember when it was normal for mothers to instruct their sons to never ask anyone ouside the home about anything todo with the government under fear of arrest or punishment. As a child I witnessed a group of kids (10-13 years old) forced to lay in the middle of a field and be beaten with canes and whips untill they were bloody cause they tore up a picture of Moi that was hanging in their classroom. I was disapointed when he died and someone put up billboards all over Nairobi honouring him as a national hero.
He was not a hero but a villain. The looting, human rights abuses, and lack of basic amenities made him a villain. He was only a national hero because his sycophants suffer from Stockholm syndrome.
@@mathematicalnerd1455
Pretty much.
@@mathematicalnerd1455 Unfortunately, that is a common characteristic with dictators
To me, a Kenyan, President Moi was a terrible disappointment. He had no excuse to destroy his country the way he did. First, when he took over as president, he had public good will. Kenyans hoped he would build up on the good president Kenyatta had done, while neutralizing the corrupt cartels that had developed during Kenyatta's time. And he knew the people in those cartels in good details.
Second, and more important, Moi was a skilled politician and his vise president was Mwai Kibaki, a brilliant economist. He should have used Kibaki to manage the economy while he, Moi, managed the politics. But, in stead, Kibaki's duty was only to welcome Moi whenever he had a public meeting to address. Moi also systematically removed all technically qualified personnel from the government, replacing them with inept psychopaths. Eventually, he started initiating economically destructive projects. For example, the much sang about school milk program completely destroyed the dairy industry in less than a year. All the milk was delivered to schools by a presidential decree but it was not paid for. Finally, the farmers got broke and could not sustain production. They had to shift to other activities. This destruction of the economy went on in every sector until the country was on her knees.
So, when Moi died, I believe, it was fitting for the government to give him a decent burial. But heeping on him all sorts of praises and honors was not being truthful to the nation and the world.
as a white european, who only learned the cliché key facts about africa, i want to tell you fullheartedly, what a great channel this is. your videos are so massively educational. africa has such a painful and colorful history yet still so many of its countries have again and again overcome bad times and bad leaders. thank you, man!

Those of born in the 80s experienced Moi as children and he really had us, especially with the milk and his visitations to our schools, we didn't know what happened behind the curtains until now that we are grown
Very true..
All I remember is him giving our primary school a new bus and the milk that came each Friday..sometimes Wednesdays as well..
Remember the Loyalty Pledge?
Got the triangular park chose ya msichana....
When you lock a cat in a room and try to kill it. It turns into a lion.
Moi's Rungu wasn't wooden..it was ivory.
He couldn't attend any foreign meeting without it.
Watching this as a Kenyan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember we were made to pledge our loyalty to moi at school every Monday and Friday 😭
Yo you are right i never knew 😭😭😭😢
@@caesarnyangoya6548 you need to watch documentary on North Korea and kim Jong-un, that exactly where we were back then😭
Bruh😂😂😂😂
What!!! I didn't know that 😃
Boss! This is so true! That thing was actually called the "loyalty pledge" and we would say it right after the national anthem!
Your comment has just made me realise the brainwash started when we were little children. Oh boy! It used to go something like "I pledge my loyalty, to the president and the Republic of Kenya..."
I have been binging on these videos regarding African leaders. I am saddened by all the suffering these people endured. One day, I hope that the African people can co-exist in peace.
Same here! Watching them over and over again
I'm happy you did a video about a leader from my country.
am a big fan, am kenyan... you are 100% right, although point of correction; Moi was not voted out in the 2002 elections, rather he opted to endorse a less popular candidate in Uhuru Kenyatta who would later become president himself
Well technically he was voted out as for the first time, his well mastered scheme of divide by tribal lines & conquer was bound to fail this time round. The opposition finally came as one. So rather than vie and lose, he aptly “chose” to leave and endorse the next guy. Making him leave on his own terms while politically calculating way ahead of time the masterstroke he had done.
Recently had a conversation with my workmates about this. It is so interesting when you hear people retell what happened because they actually lived through what I only learnt in history books.
Why are some people in the comments section comparing him to Museveni?when he lost the election,he left and retired peacefully in his own country,that means he put structures in place,in Uganda,if Museveni goes everything will collapse coz everything is centred around him and his selfish not to relinquish some power.
Stop being stupid. He destroyed the country by the time he left. It is like congratulating a rapist for using a condom. Stop defending incompetence.
@taking no nonesense period Clearly your name does not match your statement. You should consider changing it to something more like I am made of nonsense, period.
Moi never contested but rather he retired peacefully
@@abrahamtirorastogiceo8042 Yet, he ensured that there was a successor that would ensure that he's not arrested for all his crimes. You might as well congratulate a rapist for using a condom.
Moi didn't go because he wanted to go..he was forced to. The one party autocracy was repealed in 1992 and he was constitutionally barred from vying beyond 2022
I realize that I’ve forgotten a lot but I also learned some new information from this……let’s not ever forget,let’s do better moving forward
I grew up in the village somewhere in nyeri, during Moi's era. We were always cautioned from mentioning Moi's name as he had spies everywhere. This belief made us so terrified. I thank God for delivering us from this dictatorial rule.
We were told if you mention him near a radio unakujiwa.I so much avoided my grandma Toshiba radio
I think demonization of Moi is exaggerated - for he was a reflection of who we were as Kenyans.
If Moi became a dictator, it was only because Kenyans are simply hard headed, corrupt and an ungovernable.
It is a mark of statesmanship and goodness of heart that Moi left Kenya a united country when he retired.
I think dudes should realise that we had real dictators during Moi's era like Sani Abacha, Mugabe and the worst of all - Idi Amin.
Moi should be left to repose in the silent darkness of his tomb.
You really shouldn't have been scared of Moi - he loved children, even girls called Wanjiru, Wamboi and Njeri.
Ugandans should watch this documentary with great focus on how Moi over promised democracy but quickly turned into a dictator the moment power was handed to him. M7 is a dictator but as we replace him we don't need another or a worse one given the way Moi was worse than Kenyatta.
All Africans should watch with great focus, as all leaders on this continent have the same tendencies.
Very true, prices of goods keep shooting up with every new regime that comes into power, because of their thirst for money they want to introduce new taxes and raise existing ones, Ugandans might as well stick with m7
This man who killed my grandfather. He was a brutal coldhearted dictator who massacred Kenyans from every ethnicity and region. We can't forget the pain he caused to many innocent Kenyans
I’m glad you said this people seem to try to sanitise his image forgetting he conducted 4 massacre against kenyans in North Eastern
Unfortunately Ruto is a student of Moi and Yoweri Museveni both blood thirsty paws
I smile when people clearly admit that Moi was initially a humble and God fearing leader. But we forget that we ourselves create demons with or without our consent. # 1982.
The demon in Moi was created before 1982. By the time the attempted coup took place he had already converted Kenya's political system from a defacto single party state to a dejure single party state. You can't just truncate history and start cherry picking what suits your narrative. Moi had evil intentions from the word go.
@@georgeodhiambo598 not necessarily…I wouldn’t think so. I think what shook him was the 1982 coup organized from within his very inner circle. I believe that changed him forever. Otherwise what if the inner circle had decided to work with him? As the video stated, he was always considered an outsider.
@@andrewmaina8422 But what gave rise to the 1982 coup attempt? Repression was rife. Kenya became a de jure single party state. Detention without trial was back in full swing. Freedom of expression was suppressed. Universities were invaded by Moi's secret services and lecturers harassed and detained. The coup attempt of 1982 was not out of the blue. It was informed by Moi's own actions.
Kenyans are on the verge of repeating the same mistake once more🙆♂️ No lessons learnt
Playing with fire. What if...
Moi, a brutal and ruthless dictator who regressed Kenya to the economic pits of hell, destroyed the social fabric of Kenya to tribal hatred and transformed politics from a nationalist affair, concerned with the citizenry to the greedy form whose politicians care about their own wealth and tribal support; leading to the Post-election tribal clashes of 2007/2008.
Effects of bad Moi mismanagement of the country are still being felt today.
Despite all the corruption and mismanagement Moi maintained security stability throughout his regime in Kenya something the neighboring horrifically suffered, secondly during Moi rule, was and still is few African countries that best feed its citizens. In all, Moi's rule was a mixed massage.
Nonsense,moi transformed kenya
@@leonardsang387 how?
When he died I was surprised I could sing fimbo ya nyayo song by heart. We were indoctrinated for sure.
Yikes
Now I know where Museveni learnt his politics!
There is only one thing, only one, that saved Kenya during Moi error. The fact that Kenya never deteriorated to a civil war.
And was able to start rebuilding from that horrible and desperate time, when a country was at its bleeding knees.
Moi was a statesman. That's why he even hated Multipartism, alisema Italeta ukabila. Alikimbiza opposition yake lakini normal Kenyans he did right by them and only looted funds. Awa wengine ndio huleta civil conflicts.
@@playerpresident856 In your shallow logic, are you implying that he was a statesman because he hated multipartism? How did multipartism create tribalism? Kenya has been tribal from the day it became independent. Kenyatta was the architect of tribalism in Kenya. Don't blame multipartism for it. Tanzania is a multiparty state without strong tribal leanings!
@@georgeodhiambo598 look here, In The eyes of Moi Normal Kenyans were let to be normal Kenyans. Life was organic and good grass roots, people never had much and never needed much. Tangu 2002 Kenya Changed there haven't been socialist politicians.. Time ya moi kulikuwa na kaUzalendo Fulani siku izi ni ukabila..
@@playerpresident856 There was no uzalendo of any kind during Moi's time. Tribalism was established in Kenya by Kenyatta. Moi took it a notch higher. Currently the leaders are building on what the likes of Moi left behind as far as tribalism is concerned. Secondly you are introducing a different line that was not in your comment to which I was responding. In the earlier post you equated nationalism with hatred for multipartism and attributing the same to Moi. That is the line of thinking I was dismantling.
It could have been better if the country could have slipped into a civil war then later seek for sanity. US also slipped into civil war after which the country became very well organized
Kenneth Kaunda in your series sometime please.
After Mugabe's, here we are to listen to our own. These dictators eeeeeehhhh
I remember one day he was supposed to come to Nyeri and for weeks we had to rehearse songs to sing to him as he passed by our school. We waited and waited on the side of the road and the guy never showed up.
Hehe...on bright side, you had days off
@@boerandemo7766 true 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every African leader has a dark side
😂😂😂😂😂
19:39 Correction. He was not voted out of office but rather a constitution ammendment had been passed earlier with the introduction of multi party politics in Kenya that the presidential term should be limited to 2 terms of 5 years each. So having run in 1992 & 1997, (2 terms) he was ineligible to run in 2002 & therefore had to transfer power. Trust me, if this ammendment had not been done he would've been president for life like his fellow tyrants/despots in Cameroon & Equatorial Guinea.
Right, it was more than that though. People were ready to fight and he realized he would lose, so he “stepped down” and claimed to have “found Jesus and gotten saved.” After all those brutal murders and scandals. 😡
I stopped reading up on African history, I just do your videos!!! Man, you're a spark in the dark!!! Thanks!!!
Another well presented video. I always enjoy your work. I like the additional humor in this piece. Great job 👏👍
But Moi wasn't voted out of office. His term expired, and his proxy was rejected overwhelmingly.
But he stayed in office for 14 years more than was allowed ama
@@shirleytatha8189 No. He did 14 years under the old (and unamended) Constitution. It had no term limit. Then he did 10 years under the old but amended constitution. That's the one that had term limits. Generally, laws are not passed retroactively, so the old but amended constitution took effect from the date of its amendment, enabling Moi to do 2 five year terms after the first 14 years.
The quote by Njonjo about it being treason to imagine the death of the president, was made in the Kenyatta era when there was a clamour to change the constitution to prevent the vice president from taking over on the death of a president.
True
And it was meant to stop HE Moi from becoming president
thank you for the subtitles! and good video!
Excellent detailed and through reporting... Very impressive even though the story is unfortunate
What is it with Africa really? How do we all always end up with these kinds of leader? From Zimbabwe, DRC, Central African Republic, Nigeria, Liberia, Swaziland, Angola, Rwanda, Uganda ... the list is endless.
And we always replace 1 with another.
Swaziland /Eswatini is different though. (as I understand it). It's constitutionally absolute monarchy which has been continuous since Ngwane in the 18th century.
Even the country's time as a protectorate the power still lay with the family. No coups, no shenanigans.
Other than having no proper governing philosophies and principles... the complete absence of truly impartial institutions is one of the main reasons Africa is lorded over by literally mentally ill people that shouldn't even be allowed to manage soup kitchens let alone Nations...
..Psychopaths/Sociopaths and malignant narcissists are given access to the keys of power instead of being screened out and denied entry to the political environment.
I grew up in the Moi 90s and it’s weird how you don’t realize how you’re living in a cult of personality at the time.
Yikes I did not live during the time my mother told me how amazing he was especially when it came to education
When Moi died his youngest son was given a replica of the rungu to continue the politics of the family
Now, do one on the Kenyatta family
that would be cool
Dead and buried, as well as all his cronies like Biwott, kamotho, Oyugi etc.
Others are alive; Joshua Kulei comes to mind.
Good riddance to bad s71t
Your video is good but you did not get your facts correct. 10:33 You said Charles Njonjo told people that it was treason to imagine the death of the president even in his sleep. Well, I agree with you that he said that, but he did not say that in reference to president Moi, however, Njojo was referring to President Kenyatta in 1977 before Mzee Kenyatta died. At this time people had started speculating that President Kenyatta was old and that he was going to die soon and people had already started to make plans on who was going to succeed him. That is when Charles Njojo uttered those words.
Correct
But Moi also used that law
Worst thing to happen to kenya other than the kenyattas
Have you forgotten The part he sanctioned the IMF loans that demanded massive retrenchment in public sectors and that's how our economy ran down for 10years..but we retained our birthright as a nation
Funny how Moi went after Ngugi wa Thiongo and Wangari Maathai, and yet the two were precisely the type of Kikuyu intelligentsia Moi should have brought on-side as a counterweight to the animosity that he had endured from the Kiambu mafia.
Ikr. An irony
@@mwanikimwaniki6801 In fact had Moi limited his wrath to the condescending twats who had dissed him throughout his vice presidency, he might have concentrated on ushering in a new dispensation different from the proxy misrule of Jomo Kenyatta's kitchen cabinet.
@@helenikua1790 I noticed that Moi's entrance into presidency is the point where Kenya's growth, equal to the likes of Korea, plummeted. 🤣🤣🤣Yani tungekuwa Kama Korea. What a sick joke we have tasted
@@mwanikimwaniki6801 Yes, like most African monocrats Moi spent a fair deal of his tenure settling scores and getting even with his enemies instead of concentrating on the business at hand. But to be fair, this country's culture of corruption, graft, and murdering one's political opponents did not begin with Moi.
@@helenikua1790 Yes. It started at the beginning.
He totally bankrupted the country, allowed the looting and total destruction of nearly all state owned enterprises.
He watered down the educational system to the extent that it has never recovered to date.
He allowed corruption to thrive to levels that will take a miracle to tame it.
Through corruption and tribalism, he did however emancipate his Kalenjin Community from illiteracy, poverty and backwardness to very high levels of education, progress and advancement.
That and the maziwa ya Nyayo school feeding programs I commend him.
I also give him credit for being a fairly tolerant dictator.
He was an idiot
He foisted his thieving tribesmen on Kenya. The culture of payments for no work was entrenched firmly....on and on
This man messed Kenyans 24 years ago without any developments in Kenya only tribalism and lootering money to his people kalenjini.
The texts captions on the videos are hilarious😂😂😂i love them
same, didn't expect to see them from this channel
Why is it that nobody mentions,nyayo tea zones nyayo wards etc
You missed 12:15 while writing your comment
Moi told you clearly, but unfortunately you didn't listen. He assured Kenyans 'nitfuata nyayo za hayati mzee Jomo Kenyatta'. The late Kenyatta was a hypocrite, insatiable massive land grabber, a cold blooded murderer of his opponents. That's exactly what Moi did when he luckily became president. So, calling Moi à brutal dictator, wouldn't be fair. He was following in the footsteps of dictator Kenyatta aka, self ordained 'baba wa taifa'.
Ruto is moi
Really enjoying this excellent channel. Great work
Nit pick. Kenya was made a de jure one party state a month before the attempted coup, not after. Otherwise a well done video

Jomo Kenyatta fits this title to a "T" . Moi had his evils and he also had lots of great things, I should know; i grew up in his times. The kikuyu elite always wanted him out of power - even before he got into power - and he was a "passing cloud", a "limping lead sheep" who would be pushed aside to allow their continued unfettered rape of the country which they had started under Jomo. His was a very shaky start to the presidency and he was initially beholden to them, but he soon found his footing. He was always under political attack. He was a man of his times and he did the best he could with what he had. A true statesman who defended his country. MHRIEP
Your post is confusing, he was a horrible dictator with very few accomplishments which included stealing, corruption and more stealing, and of course; lots of mysterious murders and torture of opponents. He deserved a much worse death than what he got.

Thank you for your enlightening and erudite discourse about pre/post-colonialism and post-independence African states and their leaders.
Your series analyses on You Tube are obviously well-researched and serve to illuminate the political and socio-economic drivers, the artefacts of colonialism perverting Africa post-independence and the psychology of the men who rushed to ruinously inhabit the power vacuum created by this collapse in the post-colonial era and how they cobbled together their versions of ‘Nationalism’ and ‘Nation-building’ in the aftermath.
The slow but relentless and continent-wide slide across post-independence Africa into systemic corruption, autocracy and brutal dictatorship is typically poorly understood as a cultural and contextual phenomenon for most non-African lay people.
You help bridge that knowledge gap.
Thank you for your unafraid and honest work from an informed African perspective.

distorted history. every leader has a weakness, However, Moi indeed was a prof. of politics.
Excellent documentary. I have to say he did his best, he had a love for education that was unparalleled. And when you get to such echelons of power, no one is your friend or ally. Perhaps, had he kept his marriage, he’d have been a different leader over the course of time. Having a trusted partner in marriage is like your closest confidant.
I don't know about Sgt Samuel Doe but Emperor Bokassa had a wife, Idi Amin had a wife, actually a couple or so, Nguema had a wife, etc and they did worse things than Moi. Such sweeping statements as the one you have made bear no accuracy. And there was this French king whose wife told the hungry rioting Frenchmen to go eat cakes if there was no bread!
You, sir, are an amazing storyteller
When kibaki came to power he shut these torture chambers and allowed anyone to do whatever he or she feels better to do. You could walk all over town criticising kibaki and his government all you wish but to everyone's dismay, no one had a problem with kibaki's leadership, it was the most peaceful regime. The difference between moi and kibaki was that moi had very little education and we know most dictators are uneducated hence they use force than their brains
Very detailed n comprehensive research.
Splendid presentation brother. Two things were, though minute, not correct. The "rungu" Moi carried was a symbol of his community used by elders. The other one is the fly whisk, which is a more common symbol for traditional leaders in Kenya and across Africa. The other detail was the one on Njonjo's statement about imagining the death of the president. This statement was made, not in reference to Moi, but to his predecessor, Kenyatta. You see, during the last days of Kenyatta's life, the overly tribalist Kiambu Mafia, wanted to ensure that Moi never made it to the presidency, even though he was vice president. So they plotted to block him by any means necessary. His stint as vice President was littered with incidents of torture, ridicule and humiliation at the hands of the Kiambu Mafia, including once, a cavity search by a junior police commissioner! Kenyatta never intervened to save his VP.
Njonjo, even though he was the same tribe as the Kiambu Mafia, (Kikuyu), wanted power for himself and he Knew the more humble and polite Moi would be easy to depose later. It was therefore in his best interest that Moi took power. And so, he made it illegal to even discuss the death of Kenyatta, leave alone thinking of it! And he was right about Moi being timid, for a while anyway. Moi changed completely after the 1982 coup attempt however. And so Njonjo found himself fearing for his life under the rule of a man he worked so hard to ensure came to power. He found himself among those named as the coup plotters and even though his life was spared, his political career was over.
I stand to differ with you on your arguement of the significance of the rungu, This rungu was was a symbol of dictatorship

Reminds me of Mugabes secret CIO ( Central intelligence Organization) rigging, from a darling of the people he became a monster many ministers or aides died mysteriously.
Now his enforcer Emerson Mnangagwa is taking killing and looting of state funds to another level.
Shot protesters using the Army then blamed a third force.
But who will forget the 1985 matebeleland massacres of Ndebeles spearheaded by who else??? Mugabe , Mnangagwa and the North Korean trained fifth brigade.
This what happens. Governing killing opposition protesters and blame it on the opposition leader
what a great job!! you have captured the spirit of the man/monster/hero/villain/saviour/murderer/rich man that is Moi. keep up the good work!
This summary takes us through memory lane. Intellectual summary of MOI’s 24 years misrule. Ruto has done this in 10years
Point of correction he was not voted out of office rather he was constitutionally barred by the two term limit. You can be sure that were that not the case he would have died in office leaving a trail of bloodshed and pandemonium in his wake.
Just like Kamuzu Banda of Malawi.
