JaKuon Lied In Kisii

Eulogizing Nyachae, JaKuon avoided the usual fib about having recently had a phone call with the deceased. Instead, he claimed to have had deep discussions with the man in the casket way back in 1954. He would have been 9 years old, and Nyachae 22. :D

The truth is that Nyachae loathed JaKuon after 2002

Great betrayal

Nyachae had signed a deal with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and a rally was planned for Uhuru Park to announce the agreement, but Raila made an abrupt about-turn and used the occasion to endorse Mwai Kibaki’s presidential candidature, forcing the Ford People leader to launch a lone bid for State House. He lost to Kibaki.

“It was a great betrayal and I think Mzee found it difficult to forgive Raila. Remarks by Raila to the effect that Nyachae was material for the dustbin and that the Kisii vote was a drop in the ocean upset Nyachae,” Kenani said in a wide-ranging interview.
