Today Saturday was a happy day in the family of Gideon Moi, as his son Kigen Moi sought Rebecca Chepchumba’s hand in marriage in Kericho County. The Ceremony was full of tradition and Kalenjin Culture as the two finally got engaged.
The event attracted allies of Gideon Moi and close family members of both lovers. Also Present were politicians, taking into consideration the fact that Gideon Moi himself is a politician.
However missing in the event were some faces that most had expected to see, given their close political alliance with Gideon Moi. This include Raila Amollo Odinga, Martha Karua, Kalonzo Musyoka and Uhuru Kenyatta. Raila Odinga attended an event at Kilifi as the Pre wedding took place. Uhuru Kenyatta is currently out of the country attending a summit in Burundi.
Remember, since Gideon Moi lost Elections, he has taken a back seat and reduced his public appearance, seldomly seen in Azimio Rallies.
What raised eyebrows in the event was the presence of President Ruto’s brother David Ruto. Remember in the past, due to Ruto and Moi harsh political rivalry, Gideon Moi had at some point denied President Ruto an opportunity to meet his father Daniel Moi in their Kabarak residence.
However today was a different story as Ruto’s brother David Ruto graced the occasion raising questions on whether the two families had cemented their harsh rivalry. Also other President Ruto’s political allies graced the occasion including William Kamket who decamped Moi’s KANU Party. Charles Keter a self confessed ally of both Moi and Ruto also blessed the occasion with his presence.
In general the event, at a glance, had presence of tycoons but was short of politicians. Anyway what’s your thought Do you think Gideon Moi is slowly defining another political route.
