Daniel arap Moi
Daniel arap Moi was a Kenyan politician who served as the President of Kenya from 1978 to 2002. He was a prominent figure in African politics, known for his long tenure and controversial rule characterized by a mix of autocratic governance and political repression. Moi's leadership saw significant economic challenges and human rights abuses in Kenya, but he also played a role in stabilizing the country during a tumultuous post-colonial period. He famously termed the practice of exporting toxic waste to developing countries as 'garbage imperialism,' highlighting the injustices faced by nations like Kenya during the global waste trade.
