Kenya - Moi Campaigns To Discredit Leakey

(3 Jun 1995) T/I: 10:18:53
The Kenyan government on Thursday (1/6) launched an unprecedented
campaign of vilification against a white man attempting to form an
opposition party to rid the country of corruption.

Moi SOT in English: "When I talk about politics, people think I'm
racialist but I'm not racialist at all; I'm an African, believing
in nationhood. We all share sunshine but we don't share homes. In
Kenya, businessmen and foreigners can be free to operate as they
wish but not in political leadership."

Leakey SOT: "Kenya has always been and must always be a
multi-racialist society. I do not have a position in the party
because we don't have a party yet. I do not think the colour of
one's skin should have anything to do with what one does. It
doesn't in Britain, America or South Africa, so why should it
here?"

[@darrylcombe2469]

Classic racism right there. The colour of one's skin determines if you can be in government / political leadership. Really?
