...forms an important part of Kenyatta's KANU party coalition, has been openly attempting to turn the new nation toward Communism. He is opposed by a faction of moderates, including Roland Ngala, leader of the now extinct KADU opposition party, and Kenyatta's Economic Planning Minister Tom Mboya, which has been looking for a way to clip Odinga's wings. Until now Kenyatta has stood aside, little more than a tired referee...
...well-entrenched leader of Kenyatta's KANU Party, which is now the only one in Parliament after the country "voluntarily" turned itself into a one-party state; he regularly visits Peking, and he receives Russian and Red Chinese financial support. Perhaps only tough, able and reasonable Tom Mboya, 34, who became Minister for Economic Planning and Development in the new government, may end up in a position to stop Odinga from succeeding Kenyatta. The question matters because Kenyatta admits to 74-but has been 74 for a long time...

Thus curiously balked at home, Kenya's secondary graduates beg or borrow to get a higher education overseas. Hundreds flocked to the U.S. in recent years as part of Justice Minister Tom Mboya's "airlift," which provided scholarships to U.S. colleges. Kenya now has 1,150 students in the U.S., 1,400 in Britain, 200 behind the Iron Curtain...
Kenyatta himself has hardly shown any Communist sympathies, but his Home Minister, Oginga Odinga, is a left-winger who has already set up a state news agency with Russian and Czech help. He is perhaps balanced by Justice Minister Tom Mboya, who is at present politically in the shade, but remains strongly nationalist and generally pro-Western...
