It seems that Kibaki did not take that kindly, for Njonjo had behaved like the appointing authority that evening. In essence, Njonjo alluded to the fact that only he and Moi could guarantee the British interests in Kenya. Dr Waiyaki survived the elections, much to Mr Njonjo’s chagrin. That is interesting given that later on, when he became President, Kibaki courted the Libyans, reopened the Embassy in Nairobi and made a State visit to Tripoli in 2007. If Moi had been dumped at that stage, Mr Kibaki would have benefited.
