mcrege, i have never read of this angle that you're bringing out. I have read the story from various sources and not once did it come out. Not even in Raila's biography. Though there is one account which soldiers are said to contemplate a kefake presidency!


Bro it's a story of different demographics pursuing stuff differently.....to answer you MO1 had all the details....his actions were based on the facts that he had.

Ditto.Some peopple do not understand that Moi wanted to get rid of people like Charles and he was privy to the whole plot.


Thank you @Mwainder.

If am getting you right either the coup.was stage managed or MO1 knew about it but let the guys continue with the plans and final implementation knowing the uprising would be thwarted and in the process Sir Charles would become a black sheep...
@Tycho how many prominent Kenyans died mysteriously during MO1s reign?

I don't know the number, but those in the limelight have also not been few.

One that concerned me was that of Bishop Muge. It concerned me greatly because it came with a sort of public warning.

Or the Wagalla massacre. In all these Moi had tough choices to make, and all had their constraints and forces. For example, Wagalla happened because there was no idea to contain seperatist ideas. What was a governor to do?

History is written on the ink of blood till an all encompassing idea is found.

MO1 never made a mistake.....he knew everything, the later day denominator would rather milk the story .....refusing to upgrade their knowledge of a very important occasion in the history of the country.

The Luo were the second biggest tribe at the time and Oginga was their Jomo!

There is no way MO1 would have hang RAO while Oginga still drew breath and live to brag about it! And why hang RAO who was merely following daddy's orders??


Moi was the A-Z of Kenya. He could have hung both and Kenya would applaud. The world wouldn't question death penalty on coup plotters

Leave them alone.Their knowledge of history is limited to the syllabus taught in school and passing the exams.They may as well as tell us Kenyatta fought for Uhuru yet he was in UK drinking and left even a son there who is alive.

spill the beans as @kabz and @blazin are asking. Who are these other fellows? There has been a claim of parallel coup by Njonjo but never heard of 1 Kikuyu-Luo coup

How do you benefit by saying others have refused to learn yet you are hoarding what you know? Not unless it's just a conspiracy theory. Btw, the 82 coup isn't mentioned in history books but we still are curious to know more about it.
