He was called names like dictator etc. Politicians and activists rushed to use cliché phrases like 'Let the people decide', 'Kenyans want', 'We the people' ad nauseam
My recollection of Ghai commission sittings (which I attended in my hometown) confirms Moi was right. We went there thinking katiba was dawa for everything in Kenya including rogue pastors and churches! Kenyans all over were saying we must force churches to have at least a school and a hospital! Kwa katiba!
The other thing is, we thought we were making the katiba for Moi. Hence most wanted university degree included as a minimum requirement and max age set at 75!
Moi was later proven right again when in 2008, we formed the committee of experts to write for us a katiba. They just customised sections lifted mainly from US system.
He was proven right again by certain sections in 2010 who said 'Kama baba amesoma na akaona iko sawa, basi iko sawa'
Others are proving Moi right today(2017) by quoting non existent sections of the katiba just because someone called a presser and told them it's in the katiba!! Our constitution is not perfect, it's work in progress. But believe it or not, we are much better off with this than the monster that was there before. We would be at war now after these aborted elections were it not for this imperfect constitution. @2012, but it seems like we are inching closer to war even with this new constitution

I think we are agreeing to disagree. We have a fully constituted and operational Parliament, senate and county governments. We will experience some disturbances here and there but the drums of war are very far.
BBI will solve it :)

Yesterdays presser by NASA looked subdued could withdrawal have been their last card which has backfired badly.It will be interesting to watch how this guys behave from election day up to declaration now that their candidate is no longer running.What will they shout now that rigging and illegitimate elections are out of the table

The US government officially regrets railas withdrawal, and believe the rest of the west will follow us,now unless he wants to become an alshabaab officially, I think it is time for his supporters to let him retire from the race peacefully and move to bigger things and securing his legacy.

Challenge will be how to distibute ballots in places like Homa Bay where the non voters may not want others to vote. Baba will be back in 2022 for another try.

Legacy is for the victors, that's why baba is really fighting hard to at least be in government where he can try do something big, otherwise no one will remember him once he exits the scene, history books will mention Jomo, Moi, Kibaki and Uhuru and if rao does not get the highest position he will fade away, sadly just as has happened to Jaramogi, history does not remember him. I will not be surprised if he tries again for the top position come 2022, that is if he fails this time round.

Honestly speaking it's over for baba, the influence he once had has waned over time. Younger voters can't recall or connect with the street activism of the 90's. Voter priorities change over time and new politicians come up to take the leadership mantle. Sadly it's time for baba to retire peacefully. He should allow his supporters to find a place in the 2022 succession politics by building bridges with the mountaineers.
