Mzee Lee Njiru is so spot on and oozes real facts and wisdom. He saw it all for 46 years at the center of power wueh!! An encyclopedia volume book would be a best seller. I'd love to have a copy in earnest. May he live healthy and longer to educate us more on Kenya's hard charging democratic politics 🙏 💯.
Hard work result to blessings, working as Former late President Moi for 40 years is not few years that indicate he was dedicated, discipline, trusted and faithful public servant. Congratulations Mr Njiru.
Lee is a genius, you have to survive by deceit at the work places and in you family, pretend you are struggling and broke and peple will be happy and not focuss on you, you will not attract attention and jealousy.
I hv been trying this and i agree.....im respected at work but at home i pretend to be a fool knowing nothing. Just to ensure my husband is okay with his f coz we live in extended family. Its so tricky
I love the wisdom of Mr Lee, I always wondered how you managed to serve the former president .. There is so much we need to learn from you sir. I listen with deep seated concentration .
What a Legend what an honest press man and servant of Kenya great photographic memory.This is Historic people listen to this man! Tell it like it was. Valuable info
Wow seeing Lee Njiru after quite a long time.. He was my dads classmate.. Now he deserves to be called Mzee Lee Njiru.. And has anyone nnoticed how in old age he all over sudden resembles Mzee Moi ?Truly loyalty & honesty pays.. Asante sana mzee, finding someone of your quality & calibre is very very rare...
This man loved his boss. And he is yet to have closure a million years later. The goons need to help him have the closure he needs. He is a decorated state journalist anybody in Kenya has ever known... ever
Nice Talk. Nice wisdom... From it , I have learnt something wonderful,.... that @ times it's good to pretend you are foolish in order to servive..... and as Kenny Rogers sang and said, "walk away from troubles when you can ....it doesn't mean you are weak when you turn the other cheek !!.... son you don't to fight to be a MAN..... " it's good to walk away from troubles before the trouble troubles YOU.
My former boss, I am happy to see you, listen to you,! Now please, kindly, can I get one book free to enjoy the prowess I knew in you for all those years! I used to run most of the presidential news material at VOK in V.T.R. God bless you.
Thanks for the wisdom God has blessed you with Long life to tell us all about life and how to be careful when we deal with day to day life. Thanks thanks Jeff too for the good work.
This Mzee is a walking KENYAN history and knows more even than we know, i would love to have a long talk with him. Funny enough, i have never heard him mentioned alongside the EVIL DEED'S within the DYNASTIES he's just exposed 🤔🤔.
Wisdom dictates a person STUDIES & LEARNS their Boss soooo well that you know when to "lay lower than an envelope" when to act Ignorant and Anti-Nyita when necessary, humble & gentle as a dove, canning & crafty as a hyena, far & sharp sighted as an Eagle 🦅 and moments when to be Bold as a Lion... But never at any point Antagonize, dishonor, disrespect your Boss, BEST WELL KEPT SECRET IS.... "MANAGE YOUR RESPECTFULLY, VERY WISELY DISCREETLY & HONORABLY, AND THE REWARD/DIVIDENDS AWAITS YOU" Some of these qualities Above were the practices of PRES D.T Arap MOI around his Boss Mzee Jomo and no wonder Jomo found him trustworthy for long...The Reward Followed Him!!!. UKIJIFANYA MJUAJI MJANJA KWA BOSS YAKO ATA BY PROXY, REGARDLESS OF INSTITUTION, UTAJUA HUJUI... HONOR BEGRTS HONOR; DISHONOR BEGETS DISHONOR, SIMPLE!!!!
I hope all the statement you made about loyalty is not directed against Ruto...Ruto was not an employee of Uhuru that is why uhuru could not sack him..Ruto is very wise in politics and his instinct never lie..he knew African presidents are too greedy and always don't support their deputies...He prepared enough knowing there would be betrayal as usual..He will is not a boy as many think...I can't wait to witness his swearing in.
He actually mentioned Dr.WSR during the closing remarks!!! But he mentioned DYNASTY for quite some time including COMRADE and KENYATTA. watoto wa cerelac and sausage 🤣🤣🤣.
Very interesting secrets in state House. Can Mr Lee njiru tell us the late garissa senator mohamed yussuf haji may god rest his soul in peace, his relationship with jomo kenyatta ,president moi and now uhuru kenyatta before he passed on.
This man lee njiru is talking the truth, I'm amazed by his memory he has a photo graphic memory ,the days , places and people by name mmhh , hatutaki hao wanasiasa , hawa watu wanajuana sisi ndiyo tunabeba mzingo
I am not sure Njiru had proper protocol system under which he carried out his job at the State House. No wonder Moi used to made detrimental road side decisions that destroyed everything in Kenya.
Njiru was a pressman. He is a journalist. His work was to cover Moi. Obviously he didn’t always do it himself. The PPU had other journalists under him who took notes and Videos of everything Moi did. He had no such power to order Moi around. You cannot contain a president ….a healthy functioning president. You will be dismissed.
Squirrel tail..mmmm…soup! What we don’t know is that by the time Kenyatta demise took him, his health and well being wasn’t very well and he got manipulated by those around him(anyone remembers how Mugabe was in his last days?) yes…he wasn’t in his right shape and being for rationale. I believe Lee. Please throw the book on Amazon, diasporas want a taste!
I don't trust anybody including relatives and have no what people call close friends. I believe everyone is a friend or a potential enemy or an enemy who can become friend. I believe in God send good Samaritans in hour of dire need. I realised those you stand with stand at a distance gossiping or staring at you in your tough moment!
Jeff - Does Lee have anything positive and helpful to say regarding the time he served Kenya? Why did he not write the book before Moi died? Does he have anything positive to the future press secretaries?
Mr njiru said he could have written the book before moi died because it would have not been published because it touches on moi private life that was not supposed to go public. For example, moi's actual date of birth, ( he claims was born about 9 years earlier than the known age) witchcraft practices in state house , lucrative allowances , backstabbing, among othes
Owner to go for a construction class before starting construction at least to have a knowledge of mixing material s and chumas to use sometimes it's mislead by fundis and engineer good for owner even to know how to read the map
Lowest moment is when he saw his demigod in his true human form. This man worshipped power and particularly Moi. He had nothing to contribute to Kenya but misery. What happened to Robert Ouko?

I know a few people who worked close to power but lost their job position because of drinking too much. This advices Are good
I learned a lot from this mzee reasons as to why am still alive usiache Watu wakuzoee Watakukosea adabu
It seems like 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene is based on Lee Njiru's life/principles.
A very honest and loyal career public servant, who served with distinction.
Almost talking (accent) like the late Great Nelson Mandela 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You noticed!!!💯💯
Great interview. Respect for Mr Njiru
I'm listening from Nigeria... I must say that this is quite compelling.
I want that book. Man full of wisdom
Heshima kwa wazee ndio tujue penye tumetoka na pahali tunaenda Gud job mzee Lee
I HAVE NEVER EVER IN CAPITA LETTERS GOT SUCH WISDOM
I agree with him... You need to keep low profile to survive in these streets .
He survived because he was humble as the Bible says.
Nice interview, man full of wisdom ✔✔

He cannot do that because he is the king's horseman.

When people have eyes on the throne, they can't take measures such as Njiru is suggesting.

wow ! what a legend! Lee Njiru is a great man and a good man.He's a walking encyclopaedia!
He is the finest Kenyan. I know.
The old man was the part of the dictatorship governance and eventually grew with them and became his habitual part of entertaining...
Some lessons in life can only be learnt through such dictators not all should be democrats otherwise the world will go south .
Much respect Sir.
Mzee you're wise and I respect you
I hope nothing will happen to you now that you decided to talk what was not known to the public
I have already learnt survival tactics....Kudos sir!
14:36 Yes, he was at the ring-side!
A true witness!
Kudos Bw. Njiru!
And thanks for your service to Kenya!
I can't av enough of this intrview
Straight to the point Mzee Lee.
Listening to Lee you'll know Ruto is headed for the opposition...
Hehe... So you think
He actually mentioned Dr.WSR during the closing remarks!!! But he mentioned DYNASTY for quite some time including COMRADE and KENYATTA.

I’ll surely read it.. love you mr njiru
only words of wisdom ooze from the mouth of legend Lee Njiru.Kenyans have a lot to learn from Mr Lee.
If this is not wisdom then I don't know what wisdom is
Late Robert Ouko.
Many don't talk or praise such great Men.
I love listening to Mr. Lee njiru, he is always brave, so confident and man full of wisdom. Where can I find his book?
I'm not quite sure,but you may search at Text Book Centre.
No wisdom here
This man witnessed alot of killings in state house
Really nice and genuine man, gave me the chance of a lifetime! Barikiwa!
Wise man...he shut his mouth to save his life...mob love mzee..
we kenyans appreciate our elders like mr lee njiru
Statehouse needs thorough cleansing
Lee Njiru; Another loyal son of Moi he loved much.

MOI had detectives everywhere
This man should be protected by all needs...
Who would want to harm Mr njiru?
Oh yes. Can't wait to to watch this through.
Lol felt the same too
Lee Njiru was an enabler. He and company knew what was going on in Kenya. For 24 years MOI devoted Kenya and they said and did nothing.
Lee njiru should also tell us if moi himself also involved himself in witchcraft, how did he survive for 24yrs as president?🤣🤣🤣
Moi was God loving president. God supported him for 24hrs. After which he handed over and created a legacy of handing over in kenya.
