The Daniel Arap Moi family was once the go-to place in Rift Valley politics. Until 2002.
The cheese moved in 2007. But it has finally melted to Sugoi village, the birthplace of William Samoei Arap Ruto, the 5th President of the Republic of Kenya.
Arap Moi was the 2nd President of Kenya ( from 1978 to 2002)
In 1992, Moi hand-picked Ruto, the raw Botany and Zoology graduate to run errands…with the aim of dumping him like Jirongo.
But Ruto had other ideas.
The climax of Ruto’s politics was to kingpin Rift Valley after Moi’s retirement.
He went further to succeed not only Moi but retired President Uhuru Kenyatta against their wishes.
After ensuring that Moi’s sons Raymond and Gideon lost in Rongai and Baringo, UDA has poached Salat from KANU.
