Front: Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi (1924-), President of Kenya 1978-2002
Moi was first named to the legislature in 1955. In 1963, he joined Kenya's
first independent government and the Kenya African National Union (KANU).
Moi became vice president in 1967 and he succeeded Jomo Kenyatta as Kenya's and
KANU's president in 1978 after Kenyatta's death.
Moi established a one-party state in 1982, but repression and subsequent
protests in the late 1980s led the United States to withhold aid. Moi restored
a multiparty system in late 1991 and was reelected in 1992 and 1997, but his
government continued to be accused of human-rights violations and corruption.
After retiring as Kenyan president in 2002 he continued to head KANU until
early 2005.
