In Summary
- Fearless Catholic Archbishop Ndingi Mwana a’Nzeki tells his story with the first instalment of his new biography, ‘A Voice Unstilled: Archbishop Ndingi Mwana a’Nzeki’.
Whether they ignored him or just kept him at arms length was sometimes hard to tell. His manner contrasted sharply with that of Ndingi and other senior clergymen who were known to fly off the handle whenever they sensed injustice.
The government sometimes praised him for his silence and sobriety.
But this time, the cardinal too could not keep quiet. On January 24, 1991, he invited Ndingi to his house in Nairobi.
He was in a pensive mood and he went straight to the point.
After voicing his distress at what was happening in the Rift Valley, he told the bishop: “We must do something to defend the people.”
TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW(Sunday).

All these politicians know something we ordinary ppl don't.Why is Moi walking free after having brutalised innocent Kenyans? I guess Kibaki and Raila aren't that innocent,they have allied themslves with murderers just to ascend to power.Wake up ppl,for how long will this go on?

What a travesty that moi still walks free.He should be rotting in jail and so should Kibaki for letting him walk free.This has contributed a lot to Ruto's impunity in Mau, Eldoret church killings etc

Moi's day of reckoning is coming soon. He started this "madoadoa" cleansing and Ruto and others have followed. Shame that he now pretends to lead the reconciliation...

Sorry majogoo, i think you've clearly missed the entire point by a mile. The issue is not about Moi being bad or good. The issue is about the truth about a mini genocide happening in our midst while Moi was in power. No doubt he is a senior citizen, no doubt no one may ever rule for that long, sure that should go in the history books but shouldn't the mini genocide go in there too???
