I come from a lineage of freedom fighters and I salute them all. I have recordings of my great grandmother narrating almost identical stories fighting from Meru
While Njonjo was riding white horses to school, his agemates were languishing in the forests. VERY ANNOYING TO IMAGINE THAT COLLABORATORS WERE THE BENEFICIARIES!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see that and even visit if possible that's local tourism that's untapped like the way they do places where slaves were kept etc in Mombasa. Cos this place are very much part of our countries history
The story of Chief Muhoya is quite interesting. He was awarded alongside Chief Eliud of Iriniani for his contribution in fighting the Mau Mau. The Presbyterian Church that was quite pro-mzungu celebrate him as an early convert. It seems he was able to double deal. That is what makes the dichotomization of Resistance vs Collaboration very hard
The govt may not acknowledge or see them but let's be honest most are kids of the loyalists, home guards, etc. We acknowledge them and appreciate their struggles, we know who the real heroes are and one day their stories will be heard even those ones who died that never made it home.
I think he has explained clearly that Chief Muhoya, a Mau Mau sympathiser, was protecting him. That should be easy to understand if you appreciate that some chiefs were fighting on both sides.
Mau Mau n the 2nd liberation fighters are HEROES!!!
Agreed!

No letts get a goodwill fund together for the remnants of our heroes while they still live. Can we?
Good idea.
Serenity of mind and nice memory, was he really born in 1933?
Most of these veterans have intact memories, as Karari Njama, who almost 100 years, shows. It is a different kind of blessing.

True. Most of these chief were fighting on both sides.

Why was he being favored? He must have been a snitch

Dedan ends up in Ethiopia,
Dedan did not go to Ethiopia. You must be confusing him with Stanley.
