I would like to study under
Emilio Mwai Kibaki. His persona is a study in contrasts between the know-all, want-to-know-all of Daniel Kapkorios Toroitich arap Moi and the control-freaks in politics as well as his 'apparent' hands-off, legs-off BUT eyes-on approach. He is probably a suave politician with little colour, or just an opportunist who saunters along ignored. A reputed economist with Alma mater like Makerere and the world renowned London School of Economics, Kibaki does not come along as 'visibly' intelligent as his contemporaries. Yet his stealth nature belies a politically deft personality and a political animal unbeknown to Kenyans. One should excuse Kenyans who are acclimatised to the noises from the Professor of politics and many of his raucous students who mistake vibe for substance. Kibaki is silence and scheming molded into a deadly roll. Here is a politician you would think is not in charge, when all he does is to keep his hands free of soil by delegating.
He had good lessons in management. And he uses them effectively.
But wait.
