“There are only three things that cannot be hidden for long and these are the sun, the moon and the truth,” Jirongo said. Jirongo defended the lobby that helped President Daniel Moi fight the opposition wave, saying the YK’92 undoubtedly played a critical role in Kenya’s transition to multipartyism and later the Moi succession, 10 years later. More than 20 former members of YK’92 were reported to have met at Caribea Restaurant in Hurlingham last Tuesday. Jirongo said he is working on a book detailing the intrigues of YK’92 that will give a blow-by-blow account of the outfit’s activities during the Kanu era. Former YK’92 member Alex Mukabwa said they want to remove the perception that the lobby was made up of hooligans.
