Daniel arap Moi: Kenya’s Controversial Legacy of Power, Repression, and Stability

In this in-depth documentary, we explore the complex and controversial legacy of Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, Kenya’s second and longest-serving president. Spanning from 1978 to 2002, Moi’s rule encompassed a transformative period in Kenyan history—one that saw the nation shift from post-independence optimism to authoritarian repression, and eventually toward multiparty democracy.

This video critically examines Moi’s rise to power, the consolidation of a one-party state, political repression, ethnic manipulation, corruption scandals like Goldenberg, and the challenges of economic stagnation. It also highlights his contributions to national stability, education, and regional diplomacy.

Through a balanced and contextualized lens, we unpack the contradictions of Moi’s leadership: a teacher-president who curtailed academic freedoms, a unifier who relied on ethnic patronage, and a peace broker with an authoritarian grip. This documentary is essential viewing for anyone seeking to understand the broader trajectory of Kenya’s political history and the enduring lessons of postcolonial African leadership.
