This is a side of President Kibaki that Mr Fred Gumo, who was the then Minister for Regional Development, learnt with regret during one of the cabinet meetings. “Kibaki was furious,” Prof Nyong’o disclosed, recalling he snarled at Mr Gumo: “Stop that kind of nonsense, Upuzi, wacha hiyo (nonsense, stop that),” he quoted Kibaki angrily snarling at the then Westlands MP. “That is the day that I realised that Emilio Mwai Kibaki was a real feminist,” the Kisumu Governor added. Second family sagaOne other time President Kibaki publicly displayed his fury was on March 3, 2009, when he denounced reports that he had a second family. President Kibaki launched Kenya Vision 2030 in 2008, a long-term development program aimed at transforming Kenya into a newly industrialising, middle-income country by 2030.
