Who is Gideon Moi?

Gideon Moi is a Kenyan politician. He is the youngest son of Kenya's second president, Daniel arap Moi, and Lena Moi.

Gideon Moi is the current Senator of Baringo County having been elected with a landslide win of over 80% trouncing his opponent Rev Joesph Kosgey. He is also the Chairman of Independence Party the Kenya Africa National Union. He is preceded as Party Chairman by Presidents Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel wrap Moi and the current President, Uhuru Kenyatta.

Gideon's primary school education was at the elite Kenton College Preparatory School. He was one of 24 students enrolled to attend Strathmore College when it opened its doors to secondary school students in 1977. He would remain there from 1977 to 1980. After his father's ascension to power in August 1978, following the death of President Jomo Kenyatta, Gideon became a disengaged student. Despite Gideons's poor grades, his father used his influence and Gideon was allowed to attend St. Mary's School, Nairobi from 1981 to 1982 alongside his lifelong friend, Uhuru Kenyatta.

Gideon then embarked on a career in business where with his father's help he was quite successful. There have been and continue to be many allegations of corruption regarding his business dealings but investigations into corruption in Kenya have stalled.
