I n 1979, kalonzo attended the Mediterranean Insti-tute of Management in Cyprus where he earned a post graduate Diploma in Business. Recently, in 2008, he was awarded a Honorary Doctorate in Divinity among other 17 beneficiaries at the Charter hall in Nairobi, Kenya.
This was one the "honorary pro-fessorships and doctorate de-grees" that were issued by Prof. Clyde Rivers who is the Interna-tional Commissioner of the Latin University of Theology which is based in Inglewood, California.
In December 19th, 2008, Ka-lonzo Musyoka was honored with a Doctorate in Humane Letters (honoris causa) in recognition of his achievements in peace mak-ing, conflict resolution efforts, sustainable community develop-ment and humanistic ideals by Kenyatta University during its 25th graduation.
He was defeated in the 1983 general elections
Musyoka vied for the Kitui North Constituency parliamentary seat in 1983, but was defeated. At the time, Kenya was one-party state and the only party fielding candidates was Kenya African National Union (KANU).
However, only two years later, in 1985 the Kitui North seat was vacated and Musyoka won sub-sequent by-elections, thus be-coming an MP at the age of 32. In 1986 he was appointed Assis-tant Minister for Works, Housing and Physical planning and he served until 1988. He was re-elected at the 1988 parliamen-
tary elections and he was appointed as the deputy Speaker to the national assembly in 1988 and served until 1992.He was KANU's National Organizing Secretary from 1988 to 2002.
Mwingi
North Constituency
Kenya's first multiparty elections were held in 1992. Musyoka stayed in KANU, renewed his par-liamentary position and was ap-pointed Minister for Foreign Af-fairs and International Coopera-tion. He was again elected to the parliament at the 1997 elections, but now from Mwingi North Con-stituency, since his former con-stituency Kitui North was split into new constituencies.
He also held couple of other min-isterial positions while part of the KANU government. In June 1993, he addressed the World Confer-ence on Human Rights in Austria which was the first human rights conference held since the end of the Cold War.
He termed the illicit mineral trade which fuels and finances what he called 'the cause of incessant con-flicts, environmental degradation but ultimately and sadly too, pov-erty. The Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action was the ma-jor result from this meeting after
the participants reached a con-sensus.
Kalonzo is currently serving as Vice President of Kenya. Musyoka served in the government under President Daniel arap Moi and was Minister for Foreign Affairs from 1993 until 1998; subsequently, under President Mwai Kibaki, he was Minister of Foreign Affairs again from 2003 to 2004, then Minister of the Environment from 2004 to 2005. He was an unsuc-cessful candidate in the 2007 presidential election, after which he was appointed as Vice-President by Kibaki in January 2008. Musyoka is the party leader of the Wiper Democratic Move-ment (formerly Orange Democ-ratic Movement-Kenya). He also serves as Chief Commissioner for The Kenya Scouts Association.
In the months leading up to the 2002 general election, under the leadership of then KANU secretary general, Raila Odinga, he de-camped from KANU to join the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) as a founding member under the banner of the National Rainbow Coalition, which went on to win the general elections.
M usyoka became Minis-ter for Foreign Affairs for a second time un-der President Mwai Kibaki, but in a cabinet reshuffle on June 30, 2004 he was moved to the post of Minister for the Environment. In late August 2004, he was addi-tionally removed from his position as chairman of the Sudanese and Somali peace talks and was re-placed by John Koech.
Musyoka was reportedly unhappy with President Kibaki's refusal to honour a pre-election Memoran-dum of understanding (MOU) which they had signed with the president's party NAK. He was one of the leaders of the success-ful "No"-campaign in the November 2005 referendum on the pro-posed new constitution. Following the referendum, he was dismissed from the Cabinet, subsequently Kalonzo Musyoka decamped Lib-eral Democratic Party (LDP) into the little known Labor Party of Kenya.
was the
subject of much speculation
His rating for December 2007 election steadily dropped, and po-litical analysts wondered whether he would make a significant im-pact. His relationship with fellow ODM-Kenya leader Raila Odinga, who was also after the ODM-Kenya presidential ticket, was the subject of much speculation.
Many observers questioned whether the presidential hopefuls of ODM-Kenya, particularly Raila and Musyoka, could unite to sup-port one common candidate for the general election. The ODM-Kenya split into two factions, one gathered around Musyoka and the other around Odinga, in August 2007. Musyoka was elected by his faction as its presidential candi-date on August 31, 2007, receiv-ing 2,835 votes in a secret ballot
against Julia Ojiambo, who re-ceived 791 votes. Musyoka has been quoted as saying "... the war against poverty could not be won unless environmental issues were addressed."
The
"kupitia katikati" thing
Musyoka launched his presidential campaign at Uhuru Park in Nairobi on October 14, 2007. This move was criticized by those who saw him as a traitor to the ODM party of Raila Odinga. Kalonzo however said that "atapitia kati kati‖ (passing between two peo-ple). On December 1st, 2003, as the Minister for home affairs and international cooperation for Kenya. He welcomed the people to this meeting, whose theme was Strengthening the role of IGAD in regional peace initiatives and post conflict reconstruction on behalf of the republic of Kenya and thanked the Danish government, IGAD Se-cretariat and the ISS on behalf of the [10] IGAD Member States for their preparations and funding of the meeting. Kalonzo Musyoka was involved in the Sudan peace proc-ess between 1993 - 1997 and he was part of the team that reconsti-tuted the draft establishing IGAD in 1995.
According to official results, Musyoka placed a distant third be-hind Kibaki and Odinga with 9% of the vote. Amid a violent crisis over the results, with supporters of Kibaki and Odinga disputing the out-come, Kibaki appointed Musyoka as Vice-President and Minister of Home Affairs on January 8, 2008.
Musyoka expressed gratitude to Kibaki and, referring to the ongoing dispute and violence, said that he was "intensely aware that the appointment has come at a diffi-cult time when our nation is going through a painful moment". He took office as Vice-President on January 9. The political crisis eventually led to the signing of a power-sharing agreement between Kibaki and Odinga.
