Moi threatens to spill beans on land issue

Former President Daniel Moi has criticised the Proposed Constitution, saying it will divide Kenyans along ethnic lines.

Moi said the document proposes to address land injustices yet it is not specific on the period to be covered.

He hit out at those talking about land grabbing in Rift Valley, adding the original inhabitants of the province could not be accused of grabbing their ancestral land.

"I know the history of Rift Valley, and if pushed, I am prepared to spill all," he said.

Moi said it was reckless to talk about land injustices without specifying the parameters and guidelines to be used to address the issue.

"What will they look at; colonial government, Kenyatta or Moi’s administrations?" he posed.

Speaking at Kapsabet Bible College during a fundraiser, the former Head of State accused some people of using provocative language.

He said those who refer to some people as Moi orphans were engaging in hate speech and should be dealt with.

He said there was no possibility of having Moi orphans while he was still alive.

Addressing another rally in Eldama Ravine, Moi said last week’s opinion polls downplaying supremacy of those opposed to the Proposed Constitution in Rift Valley were laughable.
