I think for now we know too much about it that it cannot affect his high office bid. We should forgive him where he messed and move on with life
Its time we look forward and assume that its the struggle for democracy that failed and not the coup

Funny enough, I do not begrudge Agwambo on this one. Maybe its cause i think Moi was terrible. Its scary though when I remember Rev. Timothy Njoyas words: most of the heroes of the 2nd liberation were just after power

Moi should have been removed by civilians, not the army. Moi was evil personified. He took this country 80 yrs backward and should be in jail now, not enjoying tax payers hard earned money. Give credit where it is due. Raila fought for the second liberation even if he had shortcomings such as love of power. Who doesn't love power?

Interesting how RAO and Moi turned friends later on when the PM became part of Moi's regime.

I was not surprised since politics is a game of convinience

"Mr Kivihya, who retired as a major, said that a day after the abortive coup, the former president ordered that all Kenya Air Force men be rounded up and taken for hanging at Kamiti Prison.

The directive was effected and servicemen and officers were locked up at Kamiti, Naivasha, King’ong’o and Shimo la Tewa prisons".

Were they hanged?? Could this be one for ICC if they were?
