Last week marked 33 years since junior elements of the Kenya Air Force executed an abortive coup against the Moi regime on August 1, 1982 (no air force in the world has ever successfully toppled a government).
That was not the first attempt at a coup in Kenya, since allegedly, there were plans to topple President Jomo Kenyatta on April 8, 1971 as he flagged off the East African Safari Rally outside the KICC.
