The curse of the Kenyan vice-presidency or deputy presidency is well documented.
Of the 12 people who have served in that role since independence, all have had a public fallout with the President or faced some form of mistreatment by people close to his boss except Joseph Murumbi, who officially resigned on account of ill-health in 1966, Musalia Mudavadi, who served for three months in 2002, Kijana Wamalwa, who died in office in 2003, and Moody Awori, who succeeded Wamalwa for the remainder of the Mwai Kibaki administration’s first term ending 2008.
