Rift Valley at a crossroads as Moi ‘rung’u lands in Gideon’s hands
The symbolic passing of retired President Daniel Toroitich Arap
Moi’s political baton to his youngest son, Gideon Moi, formally sets the stage for a bruising battle between the Baringo senator and Deputy President William Ruto for the vote-rich Rift Valley electoral base.
The State funeral at Kabarak turned, at the tail end of it, to be a coronation of the junior Moi, who is also the national chairman of the former ruling party Kanu — a position previously held for decades by his father.
And, with that simple act, the Rift Valley region now has two de facto political kingpins — DP Ruto and Senator Moi.
It now remains to be seen whether the younger Moi, who formally stepped into his father’s giant political shoes, has the wherewithal to wear them.
Nevertheless, it is expected that the fight for control of the vote-rich Rift Valley between Dr Ruto and Mr Moi will eventually spill over to the national stage with the two expected to gun for the presidency in 2022.
Whether it was pre-planned and kept as a family secret or not, it took all by surprise when the eldest of Moi’s sons, Rongai MP Raymond Moi, handed over their father’s iconic gold-clad ivory ”rungu” to his younger brother as the world watched.
