What Is Wrong With Former President Mwai Kibaki?

Former third president of the republic of Kenya, Mwai Kibaki is the latest person trending on social media especially Twitter, with many people failing to understand why the name ‘Kibaki’ is trending.

Now, here is the genesis of the whole story. Following the latest change in political wave in Kenya, many people have been comparing former presidents of Kenya including current president Uhuru Kenyatta, trying to find out the best president so far.

There has been discussion with many people saying that former president Mwai Kibaki is so far the best president Kenya has ever had.

To prove the majority wrong, another group of Kenyans on Twitter gang up with evidence to prove that former president Mwai Kibaki was never the best president.

Martin Kamau took us back to back to 2002 campaigns, when former president Mwai Kibaki was involved in a road accident on 3rd of December while on his way back to Nairobi from a meeting in Machakos.

Both Kibaki and his bodyguard were seriously injured. Kibaki was hospitalized in Nairobi then later in London after sustaining fracture injuries.

Former president Mwai Kibaki later got out of hospital and won elections as the 3rd president of Kenyatta. According to Martin Kamau, Kibaki’s bodyguard was dismissed from police service the injuries he got from the accident could not allow him work, but he claims Kibaki never mind to follow up on him.

Kibaki was involved in an accident that severely injured him and his bodyguard. He got out of hospital and became president while his bodyguard was dismissed from his police job because his injuries couldn’t allow him to work. Kibaki never inquired of him again.

Rtd President Kibaki’s aide who was with him during the accident before the historical 2002 general elections has never been compensated for sustaining injuries while on duty and moreover he was sent on early retirement from the GSU,he is still struggling to get justice 🤦‍♂️

As if that was not enough, Mathenge also came in claiming that, during the same 2002 elections campaigns, Wanyiri Kihoro and his wife decided to fund Kibaki presidential campaign.

Unfortunately some weeks later after Mwai Kibaki had won, Wanyiri and his wife were involved in a plane crush, that put Wanyiri’s wife for 4 years. Guess what according to Mathenge, Kibaki never visited the family.

Wanyiri Kihoro and his wife crowdfunded for Kibaki’s presidential campaign in 2002. Weeks after Kibaki won, a plane crash put the wife in a coma for 4 years. Kibaki never visited her and the husband never forgave him

David Ndii also join the gang with a brief story where Kibaki was given a office by Ngengi Muigai at Bruce house, but Kibaki Never paid for the bills and to make it worst, left without even a notice.

Ngengi Muigai gave Kibaki an office in Bruce House after he quit government. He used it until DP was established and provided a chairman’s office. Kibaki never paid a bill, telephone, stationery, tea—nothing, neither did he inform his host of his departure, or say thank you. https://t.co/pSxoYhNBR6

Any way opinion of a section of Kenyans is not final to judge former president Mwai Kibaki. Many others believe that he was the best president and that is their opinion too.
