Kalonzo Musyoka
Kalonzo Musyoka (born November 1953) is a Kenyan politician and was the foreign minister of Kenya from 1993 until 1998 and from 2003 until June 30 2004, when he was replaced in a cabinet reshuffle. He was KANU's organising secretary from 1993 to 1998. In the months leading up to the 2002 general election, under the leadership of then KANU secretary general, Raila Odinga, he decamped from KANU to join the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) under the banner of the National Rainbow Coalition, which went on to win the general elections. He was reportedly unhappy with the president's refusal to honour a pre-election Memorandum of understanding (MOU) which they had signed with the president's party NAK and hence his demotion. He was Minister for the Environment as well as one of the leaders of the successful "No"-campaign in the referendum on the proposed new constitution. Kalonzo Musyoka is widely expected to vie for presidency at elections scheduled for December 2007. He shall face Raila Odinga at the LDP pre-elections.
Musyoka has been quoted on saying "... the war against poverty could not be won unless environmental issues were addressed."
