Sometime in 1976, James Kanyotu, the time the Head of Kenya's Special Branch, summoned an urgent meeting between him, AG Charles Njonjo, and the Head of Civil Service, Geoffrey Karîîithi. The meeting was held at Kanyotu's residence.
The Redhill meeting mandated Kareithi to ensure that solid succession plan in line with Kenya's constitution was in place, and adhered to.
