With the race to succeed Kenya's Daniel arap Moi now firmly in fifth gear, an E-mail about his preferred successor, Uhuru Kenyatta has been bouncing about in cyberspace from a number of locations all over the world. The damming E-mail reads as follows.

With the race to succeed Kenya's Daniel arap Moi now firmly in fifth gear, an E-mail about his preferred successor, Uhuru Kenyatta has been bouncing about in cyberspace from a number of locations all over the world. The damming E-mail reads as follows.
- No company will hire him because he has a lot of blanks in his CV. He's been doing zero, nothing for so many years. The job he got with The Tourist Association was as a result of his mum, Mama Ngina pleading with Moi to give him something to do — sources confirm.
- This guy has never seen the reason to work - a member of the board of directors at Egerton — not even one meeting did he attend. As the chairman of The Kenya Tourist Association he never travelled to sell Kenya abroad.
- The Kenyatta family owns Brookside, Kenya Aerotech, etc. Not even Kenyatta's immediate family will entrust Uhuru to run any of these companies. Muhoho runs them. Who is he to manage Kenya?
- We know he's a drunkard, as confessed by those waiters at Grand Regency, but more so this guy is lazy. One can never envision this guy waking up at 5:00 am to be in his office by 6:30 am. Kenya needs a “workaholic” leader (the likes of Raila, Saitoti, Nyachae, Kibaki) and not a “slacker” like Uhuru — no wonder he was late for his father's memorial in August.
- Why is it that's it's only his mum that has endorsed him to succeed Moi. What about the rest of the Kenyatta family? Do they know something we don't?
- He's not smart enough to realise that he is being used as a guinea pig - because Moi's intention is to look for a Kikuyu within Kanu to match up with Kibaki. No regard to Kenya's interest — anything for Kanu to win to protect Moi's interests in retirement. As Kibaki calls it, - tribal arithmetic's.
- Has he been part of a team to draft, or better still to look at, Kanu's manifesto — No. Kenya Budget — No. Fiscal Policy — No. Foreign Policy — No Constitution of Kenya — No.
- Before Moi, this guy had never won an election — reason's are he had no development track record and has never had any.
