Moi encounters hostile crowd in Aldai

All I can say is that Moi should have known better and laid "low like an envelope." He is now seeing things that he has never seen before in his life.

Former nominated MP Ezekiel Bargentuny criticized the crowd, accusing them of being hired to embarrass the former President.

Realizing that his hard stance was getting nowhere with the charged crowd, Moi then pleaded with them to vote for Kibaki so that the Kalenjin community could be included in the next government.
