Events

The Limuru Conference (1966).
Tom Mboya set off the chain of events that led to the Limuru Conference. As David Goldsworthy narrates in the book, Tom Mboya: The Man Kenya Wanted to Forget, he cunningly set a trap for Odinga which the latter obliviously walked into. On 15th February 1966, Mboya tabled a motion in Parliament condemning dissident groups in KANU and asked that all who were against the government should declare themselves. Odinga immediately voiced his disapproval of the motion expressing that he had not been consulted regarding it and stormed out of the House but not before attacking Mboya directly calling him ‘The American ambassador to Kenya’. The motion did pass in his absence but only after 7 hours of vicious debates in which both camps voiced their personal and political disparities to each other in a manner that had never been done before in the country.
