By JOHN KAMAUMore by this AuthorIt is only after you mention Kenneth Stanley Njindo Matiba that you start to get the inside story of the Nyayo regime. There were many dare­devils who tried to stop the Moi regime — but most of them had no clout and no money. The entry of mil­lionaire Kenneth Matiba changed the matrix.
