As the nation mourns the late President Moi (pictured), it is clear that his 24-year rule had a significant impact on Kenya and Kenyans. President Moi’s leadership was unique in many ways. As many have acknowledged, he possessed the vision of a giraffe and the boldness of a lion. This combination made him an innovative leader not afraid to attempt great things – including development of a Made in Kenya car. Special tribute must therefore be paid to him for the many programmes and projects he initiated during his leadership.
