Kibaki was a very good economist but not a very good politician that’s why they didn’t want him back in 2007 in spite of his work. I don’t think he would have managed to rule for 24 years.
Actually he was both. But when you’re dealing with dogs who have no respect for decorum, hell bent on using guerilla warfare and underhanded disgusting bonobo antics of the worst of the worst banana republics, nothing can prosper. if i was him, i would have immediately executed those behind the attempted ouster of the republic’s government through force. You do realize he had all the same power as moi under the old constitution and he chose not to use it
What destroyed him is that he was a huge tribalist. 80% of his appointments were Kikuyu. All(100%) government contracts were to Kikuyu people. At that rate, you have no one to vouch for you outside central Kenya. No one to sell your ideas and accomplishments to mwananchi. So that’s why he was limited to 4 years max. Self defeating moves.
