A former Kanu youth chairman Peter Njogu Githinji recounted the day he confronted the late President Mwai Kibaki over his indecision to quit Kanu at White Rhino Hotel in 1991.

Mr Njogu, 70, popularly known as 'Maisha' in Nyeri politics, was a staunch Kanu leader during the one-party rule before he became an ardent supporter of Mr Kibaki after he shifted his political base from Donholm in Nairobi to Othaya constituency in Nyeri.
