For the older generation, he is being remembered as a strong man who kept the country in peace during his 24-year rule.Unfortunately, when many African leaders die, their worst deeds seem to be buried with them and outright condemnation of their corruption and the killings of their compatriots is somehow not highlighted. Consider Moi who cracked down on Prof. Wangari Maathai’s Green Belt Movement when they protested the construction of Times Tower, a 60-floor skyscraper in Nairobi’s Uhuru Park in 1989.A statement by Amnesty International Kenya, on the death of Moi read, “Kenya under the 24-year-old presidency of Daniel arap Moi experienced some of the worst human rights abuses in its history.” Though the statement did not highlight the atrocities Moi committed, many Kenyans took to Twitter to highlight several massacres committed under Moi’s regime.Moi came into power in 1978 after the death of former President Jomo Kenyatta.

But because he has passed on let God judge him,” Harun said. The Wagalla massacre of 1984 in Wajir and the burning down on Garissa town in 1980 are among negatives that have stained the legacy of former President Daniel Moi in Northeastern.Moi died at the Nairobi Hospital on Tuesday morning.Northeatern residents joined the rest of the country in mourning a man who ruled the nation for 24 years from 1978.Although the majority praised the former president for uniting Kenyans during his reign, some did not have kind words for the retired president.Kenya Livestock Marketing chairman Dubat Amey said it was under Moi’s watch that the Wagalla massacre of 1984 took place.More than 5,000 Somalis were rounded up by soldiers who had descended on the area to reportedly defuse clan-related conflict.But witnesses said the Somali men were then taken to an airstrip and prevented from accessing water and food for five days before being executed.“The burning down of Garissa town in 1980 and the Malkamari massacre of 1986 also took place during Moi’s reign,” Amey said.He added, “Like any other human being he had his weaknesses and strengths but his positives overrode his negative acts. In 1980, the Kenyan government would be involved in what has come to be known as the Garissa Gubai massacre in 1980. They were tortured and any that attempted to run away were shot.In 2008, Kenya set up The Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission of Kenya to address post-election violence.

In what is now known as Mandera County, security forces killed and raped women. Ron Slye, one of the commissioners stated that the Wagalla massacre represented the worst human rights violation in Kenya.As more people sift through the deceit of Moi’s goodness as president in Kenya, many more remember that the Moi rule was one of terror and torture in which many Kenyans disappeared. In 1980, the Kenyan government would be involved in what has come to be known as the Garissa Gubai massacre in 1980.
These are some of the positives we cannot forget,” Amey said.Amey said Moi will also be remembered for handing over power peacefully to an elected president in 2002, something he said many African leaders have failed to do in their countries.“We join the rest of the country in sharing our sincere condolences to the family of Moi. Disabled people were killed and 336 people were killed.In Wajir County, formerly in north-eastern province, the Wagalla massacre remains a traumatic experience the region experienced. At least 3,000 Somali’s in Garissa District in the north-eastern province died. May Allah grant the immediate family, friends and all Kenyans peace during this difficult period.”Garissa businessman Marian Yakub, 42, said current leaders should borrow a leaf from Moi’s vision for the country’s unity.“As residents of Garissa we have a lot to learn from Moi.
