When the economy improves, things only work well to those who are working hard not to those who are sleeping in bed. Even if we were to forget everything else, we cannot forget what happened to the Milk Prices when Kibaki took over. And this benefited watu wa machinani. May be watu wa machinani wa kwenyu did not benefit because they do not see this as anything worthy. The banking sector is another example and those old wazees of machinani also benefitted. Road were not olnly build in Nairobi, Electricity connection to machinani was no longer a privilege during Kibaki's tenure unlike during Moi's time where he could order removal of electricity poles just because you did not vote for him. Kibaki tried hard to uplift the lives of all Kenyan's but failed Politically because he assumed he was leading Men and women as intelligent as he was.
Moi cared more of personal praise and worship and though the more the people who would sing praises to him regardless of whether they meant it or not, the better the country was doing. He had an inferiority complex and needed people to keep repeating how great he was to be reassured. Kibaki was so confident of himself that he got annoyed if you tried to sing praises for him.
