At the height of clamour for multi-party politics in the early 1990s, one of the loyal lieutenants of the late President Daniel Moi, Joseph Kamotho, made a proclamation that Kanu would rule for 100 years.

The statement was later reinforced by Moi and after 57 years, another Moi's protege is set to take office as the fifth president.
