Martha Karua, leader of the People's Liberation Party (PLP), has revealed how former President Daniel Moi's attempts to destabilise the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) influenced her decision to enter politics in the late 1980s.
Speaking on Saturday, July 12, in Washington DC, Karua recounted how the late president inspired her to transition from activism within the legal profession to the murky world of politics in order to agitate for better leadership and governance.
Karua noted that the current political instability under President William Ruto's regime, characterised by a clamour for total control, mirrored what was observed during Moi's tenure and had originally served as the catalyst for her entry into politics. "I was called into politics during times like these, during the Moi era," Karua said.
