Mwai kibaki to be remembered in this way, is a good way of remembering him.
Like Prof. I think any sober mind in Kenya would be "superstitious" about this crash. How many 4-Star Generals in the world experience such crashes (and not even in war)! If the 4-Stars transportation cannot be top notch and error free, how can the President be safe!!!?
As to making Accident Investigations public, this should be standard practice. The military is taxpayer funded and the public has a right to know. Let us not go back to Nyati house era, anti-stock theft/ngoroko era, Moi Coverup era, etc.
I think Mzee Mwai Kibaki would approve this mode of commemoration...he had the intellect and ideas to memorialize...not like ALL the other Presidents to date...who all just know how to steal.
I'm from Central Kenya, I believe that Kibaki was a great president, and I (and other extended family members) benefited from investing in the Nairobi Stock Exchange which was doing very well etc. However, I think that sometimes that era is romanticized. It wasn't perfect. There are things I could fix if I was asked to go back in time and make a contribution.
What I liked about Kibaki was staying in the background and just working. Apparently he really believed in a "working nation". Sio kila mara kupayuka payuka akajipiga kifua.
We ALL know the era was not perfect. We ALL know there are NO perfect people. After all Kenya and Africa are still extremely poor societies for a reason! But we have had some leaders who exemplify what leadership ought to look like in our circumstances - that of clannish, tribal, pre-feudal, pre-capitalist societies trying to both modernize and become nations in a capitalist world system. Mzee Mwai Kibaki was the ONLY Kenyan President to comprehend this and contribute positively towards solutions to this. The main thing every other President of Kenya has done, is takeadvantagebof the circumstances to enrich themselves through arbitrage and other lazy means.
@@paulerick6001 Ethnic balance was a big blindspot, in my view. I call it a blindspot because I'm not sure that Kibaki was consciously aware of it. He was surrounded by a lot of his old school buddies, perhaps not realizing that there was a level of homogeneity there that wasn't good for national cohesion.
To be fair to Mr.Kibaki, there were notable successes in his government.His biggest success was in the highest tax collection in Kenya's history
He freed the banking sector by reducing government borrowing from commercial banks ..
The banks were thus able to lend money to the private sector, thus rejuvenating the economy.. Some failures were: He failed to appreciate the magnitude of the threat posed by tribalism to Kenya. Many of his appointments were insensitive to the feelings of Kenyans.He did not pursue the Moi Era thieving kleptocrats, thus paving the way for serious economic crimes such as Anglo -Leasing.He failed to tame members of his inner circle from engaging in serious economic and political crimes .
Can kibaki be painted with the right brush it was not just rosy
Any details on the lecture?
Kenyan politics is tough… it is funny how despite remarkable economic turnaround of the country, after 5 years Kenyans voted him….Kenyans are Kenyans
Over 99% of tribes in Kenya wanted Kîbaki out in 2007. Why do Kenyans praise him yet they wanted him out
Kenyans are Kenyans
Kibaki gave in to the Mt Kenya Mafia, started making tribal appointments and directed most of the developments such as dams mentioned here to that area. That's when the rain started beating us. Still he remains the best President Kenya has ever had
I respect Kagwanja but this is ridiculous. 2007 tainted Kibaki’s tenure. All indications are that he circumvented ‘stole’ the election, plain and simple… factors leading to loss at the referendum were very much in play if not worse… and then went ahead to be sworn in the dead of night ??? secondly, he clearly had something mental going on (dementia?) the strange press releases on his number of wives…. I mean, give us a break… Now you want to edify him ??
Kenya needs to save itself from itself…. As they say, if you repeat a lie long enough it becomes the truth….
Nobody is saying kibaki was blameless, nobody is anyway.
But nobody either can take away from him his remarkable contribution to our molding of our nationhood..
Your wife is a traitor, she was a ruto's mole in Uhuru's government.
Stick to subject matter kindly. Private life is private
She's impartial and incorruptible. That's why she'll serve in many regimes without fear of vindication
It is a lie. Kibaki was not a constitutionalist. Speak the truth, the push for new constitution was by other parties in government and not him.
I'll give an example, Kibaki was the one who moved the motion that made Kenya a one party state in 1982. We can't argue against his economic revolution, but he was not a reformist nor a constitutionalist.
