Kalonzo’s role in the 2nd Liberation.
Reporter: "Would it be unfair to say you
never lifted a finger when things were going wrong"?
Kalonzo: "That is not true. I went as an observer to Kiharu elections and I reported that the late Dr Kikonyo Kiano had beaten Gidraf Mweru, but the DC had turned it the other way round. I came and told President Moi what I saw. He understood, but not some other operatives who kept laughing. That is my contribution to democracy at that particular time".

Reporter: "And the corruption?"
Kalonzo: "Ask the (former) ministers concerned. Turkwel project, for instance, was not in my docket. I knew a time would come for a true leader to emerge. What you are seeing right now is the emergence of a leader, there is nothing you can do about."

Reporter: “So you also worked to bring democratic change?”
Kalonzo: “I worked for the merger
of Kanu and NDP, when people thought I was a Moi protégé“.
Reporter: “But your role in the second liberation
is not very clear?”
Kalonzo: “People would like to
think what happened in Kanu in 2002 was because of Raila. Do you know that
NARC got together in my room? Do you know that the word “Rainbow” was my
invention? What other contribution to democracy would you want?”
Reporter: “What exactly do you represent?”
Kalonzo: “Are you telling me
that Kenyans don’t know that I have already brought them free secondary education?
Because when I announced it, the government included it in the budget.
Even the free primary education was my contribution
to the Kibaki campaign when he was in hospital. Kenyans know that I was the
first to launch my vision, I believe I was the first in Africa to do so.
Isn’t that a contribution to democracy?
