Senator Moi Speaks Out After He was Blocked from Being Installed as Kalenjin Spokesman
Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has spoken out after youths blocked him from being installed as the Kalenjin spokesman on Saturday.
Moi, who is also the Kanu party leader, was headed to Kapsisiywa in Nandi County where he was scheduled to be installed as the community’s leader.
But rowdy youths chanting Deputy President William Ruto’s name barricaded the road leading to the home of Councillor Christopher Arap Koyoki, who was to preside over the coronation of Senator Moi as the official leader of the Kalenjin community.
This forced Moi and his convoy to make a U-turn and proceed to Kabiyet shopping center where he addressed a gathering before he left the area.
Moi through a statement released by his Secretary of Press Joseph Towett blamed his political rivals for the incident, which he described as an act of cowardice.
"We view this as an act of cowardice by well-known political detractors whose main pre-occupation has always been desperate attempts to curtail the ever growing influence of other leaders in the region and to suppress the democratic space for their own selfish interest,” Moi noted.
“We wish to take this opportunity to commend the innocent youth, some of whom have confessed as having been hired to cause mayhem, for the civil manner they conducted themselves despite being incited to act on the contrary.”
He vowed to continue with his grassroots political engagements across the country ahead of the 2022 general election.
“I wish to reaffirm that this is just the beginning of the series of activities the Senator has embarked on to reach out to the people of Kenya and neither violence nor intimidation will stop him,” the statement added.

Gideon, you can keep talking to yourself using the same old-tired excuse " the cowardice of political rivals". How about the truth. The people have spoken. They don't want you. All your money and riches came from your dictator father Moi; that he stole from wananchi. You have never worked a single day anywhere on your own yet you fly in helicopters and are filthy rich. Sorry, time is up for you the dynasties- people want thier country back pronto! And you can go to hell with your BBI crap!
Gidi, wacha umama, you know God damn well that not two bulls can reign supreme in a Boma. Ruto beat you to this! You were circumcised by the unbelievers and thus your cowardice move to have power brokers have you installed as the Kale Kingpin. You are not your Dad, get cheated off your money like everyone else! Ruto is out next prezzo, haters smell the coffee ...
Kinda ashamed that this boy Murkomen is married to a kikuyu woman who condones his childish behavior as portrayed here by his response to Kuria in reference to Gideon run-in’s with the goons!
Maturity used to be a number 1 measuring rod before any one could cross over to marry into kikuyu land! Surely boys will never grow up to be men! And Murkomen is that kid!
Does Joe know that majambazi Nyachae,Mudavadi,Orengo,Raila jnr,Babu Owino,expired Castro,Jirongo etc are married to Gikuyu women?Does he know his god,Raila has several Gikuyu mistresses?PENGENYE haina ukabila bwana.Hio UPUUZI wako haiwezi kunizuia kumuoa dada yako tukipendana.
Kenyans hate Gideon Moi.
I don’t understand why these people keep forcing themselves onto Kenyans.
Kenyatta family, Moi Family and a couple of other families & William Ruto.
These thieves need to move on with their lives.leave Kenyans alone.
They should have burnt his car, so that he can learn to stay in Baringo.
Kenya needs a different crop of leaders not children of dictators, thieves, murderers and landgrabbers.
Jambazi Gideon stange managed the whole operation.How come they were not stoned?How come the ceremony was to be held at night?Or was he on CATTLE RASTROLLING mission?Does it mean that thug Moi has impunity on curfew hours?
GMO is just being deepfake. The baton has passed and he has to wait longer than 12 years. A man who married a Muslim after being forced to convert to Islam. Umama mwingi. Changing faith just to get a wife. Kukaliwa 2 much. Try votes in North East
