Political analyst and University of Nairobi don Herman Manyora blew the lid on what he described as a plan to bring Gideon Moi into the helm of the country's leadership.
Speaking on Punchline with Anne Kiguta on K24 on Sunday, February 9, Manyora intimated that there were plans in the offing to ensure that power returned to the dynasties as originally intended by the country's early leadership.
He insisted that the scramble had already begun and may manifest itself in 2022 with the endgame being in 2027 where Gideon Moi would ascend into power.
"Power must be in one place, and I have said this, In 2022, everything will be a boardroom deal. People will distribute positions in some boardroom, and the game has already started," he intimated.
He revisited the previous regimes where he opined that the country's leadership was being held on a caretaker basis to ensure that a few select families had a grip on power all the time.
He insisted that the changes in the laws to bring about multi-partyism threw the game out of proportion, but that work was being done to ensure that power returned to those initially meant to have it.
Manyora further intimated that in 2022, ODM leader Raila Odinga is poised to come into power on a caretaker basis while Gideon was being prepared for the role in 2027.
"Just like Kibaki was needed to occupy the space temporarily and keep it for Uhuru, Raila is meant to keep this space between 2022 and 2027 and keep it for Gideon. You wait and see," Manyora told the panelists on K24.
He insisted that Raila was a stop-gap measure, a safer bet to ensure that those needed to receive the power as originally intended would.
"With Raila, you are killing two birds with one stone. You are getting a stop-gap person while at the same time you are paying the debt owed to Jaramogi and the Luo community. This debt is bigger than that owed to DP Ruto," Manyora told the panelists.
He insisted that in politics, it was right to pay the older debts before embarking on paying the more recent ones.
