In 1993, a small propeller-driven plane piloted by Richard Leakey crashed, crushing his lower legs, both of which were later amputated.[11] Sabotage was suspected but never proven.[50] While in the hospital, Leakey told President Moi, a religious man, not to pray for him, but act on matters pending for the Kenya Wildlife Service. Thereafter, Richard Leakey walked on artificial limbs.[51] Around this time the Kenyan government announced that a secret probe had found evidence of corruption and mismanagement in the Kenya Wildlife Service. An annoyed Leakey resigned publicly in a press conference in January 1994.[52] He was replaced by David Western as the head of the Kenya Wildlife Service.[53]

In May 1995, Richard Leakey joined some Kenyan intellectuals in launching a new political party – the Safina Party,[55] which in Swahili means "Noah's Ark".[55] The Safina party was routinely harassed and even its application to become an official political party was not approved until 1997.[56]   In 1997, international donor institutions froze their aid to Kenya because of widespread corruption.[57] To placate the donors, Moi appointed Richard Leakey as Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service in 1999. Leakey's second stint in the civil service lasted two years.[58] Ọ chụpụrụ ndị ọrụ gọọmentị 25,000 ma nweta ego ruru nde £250 n'aka International Monetary Fund na World Bank.[59] However, Leakey found himself sidelined after the money arrived, and his reforms were blocked in the courts.
