Would Kalonzo Musyoka make a good president for Kenya?

Recently, at a certain bar, I posed the question  as to whether Kalonzo Musyoka would make a good president for Kenya. Some of the people I posed this question to were of the view that, in certain ways, Kalonzo Musyoka would make a good president for Kenya. 

For one, someone pointed out, Kalonzo Musyoka is one of the few people in top leadership in Kenya who are largely untainted by corruption. This is how the argument went: that many of the problems affecting Kenya can be attributed to corruption, and Kalonzo Musyoka, being largely untained by the vice would (at the very least) have the moral authority to lead  fight against corruption.

Someone else from Mwingi pointed out that Kalonzo Musyoka also has a lot of experience in leadership, having first contested for Kitui North MP position in 1983 (where he came fourth) and having gone to parliament in 1985 following the death of Phillip Manandu and remained in parliament up to 2013. We were told that given his experience, you would expect Kalonzo to know how things are done – and this is very important in a president.

One of the participants in the discussion also told that Kalonzo Musyoka has experience in peace-building, having brokered the 1990s truce between the various warring parties in Sudan, eventually leading to the birth of the South Sudanese nation. And because peace-building is one area that Kenya still needs some effort in, Kalonzo would be a worthwhile president.

As people started getting drunk, one the fellas would have been quiet all along pointed out that Kalonzo Musyoka is a properly educated person, having earned his Law Degree from the University of Nairobi. So, given his education, it would be highly unlikely for him to make the leadership blunders that illiterate leaders are prone to.

There also seemed to be those who felt that Kalonzo is  a moderating force, someone who is not too radical, which would perhaps mean that a Kalonzo Musyoka presidency would lead to a greater level of stability in the nation.
