Lee Njiru, who served as the press secretary for the late former President Daniel Moi, has now revealed that Moi was close to leaving power during the 1992 general elections.
Speaking during an interview with Dr King'ori on Tuesday, April 29, Njiru claimed that Moi was convinced that he could not win the elections and was ready to leave; however, it took Njiru and other intelligence officers' intervention to fabricate a strategy to ensure that Moi retained power. "Moi wanted to leave in 1992 and said that there is no way he could have won.
But I told him no, and that we are not going anywhere, and told him to give me time.
He asked me whether we had any formula, and I told him that we would craft one," he said. "So I telephoned a few friends, somebody from intelligence from the Kalenjin and Kikuyu community, and we crafted a plan," he added.
