Listen One of very few Kenyans of Somali descent to have risen to positions of influence in President Daniel arap Moi’s administration, Hussein Maalim Mohamed was a politician who tactfully avoided controversy, except when it came to defending the rights of his people.

Listen The 29 January 1988 issue of The Weekly Review news magazine carried on its cover a portrait of Henry Kosgey, the Minister for Culture and Social Services, bearing the headline ‘Man in Trouble’.

Listen Justus Kantet ole Tipis, once a powerful Minister of State in charge of Internal Security in President Daniel arap Moi’s government, saw no battle he could not fight.
