Were President Moi to decide to stick on at State House, his critics would need more than political reforms to block him. A plot remains a secret, because to expose it is like signing a death warrant. He has ably reduced the once ebullient Opposition to a bunch of squabbling individuals only interested in his seat. He is not in a hurry to finger a possible successor. It all looks comical.
Few people can discern the latest rumba in the corridors of power.
But one thing is apparent, if indeed President Moi sets out to defy the constitution, even the best, or harshest, of political reforms by the Ghai-Ombaka team will hardly distract him. These may come in doses, but as long as they drip in, life continues. Grandmaster Moi can seize the predicament agonising the masses to salvage his uncertain political fortunes. Politically immoral it would be. President Moi's survival is legendary and well documented.
