GHOSTS OF 82 COUP: Tortured and wrongfully dismissed. Declared innocent but not yet compensated.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- This is the story of ex - airforce-men who were arrested, tortured, jailed and dismissed by the government of Kenya's second President, the late Daniel Arap Moi on suspicion of having known or participated in the 1982 attempted coup. After battling in court for decades to have their names cleared of any wrongdoing, justice was served after they were declared innocent in 2016 and awarded compensation of millions of shillings.
The court order to have the government pay them has since been ignored by the office of the Attorney General with a good number of the ex - soldiers dying of old age and diseases that can have been cured had they had money. Many if not all are languishing in poverty.
Here is the story of the pain they endured for being members of the Kenya Airforce the day the attempted coup happened.

I was not yet born by the time this happened but coming from a Military family, this story infuriates me everytime I hear about it. So many lives were destroyed by irrational handling of the event. I still believe stopping the coup saved the country from going through the Ugandan trajectory, but the incompetence in identifying the guilty was conspicous. May God be with those who were falsely punished and their families. Their lives have never been the same 😪.
It was a horrible moment for me and my colleagues who were in service and ready to defend their country with their blood
Such a sad story. Thanks @kenyanhistory for this. Can we host you Apollo on our podcast and hear your story?
@@thekisianganipodcast Hey @Apollo, more opportunities to tell your stories
We can arrange sir
Give me your contacts
sorry bro,the idiot is long dead now....mos ahinya wuod luo
my dad was a victim and he was only in the service for less than 2 years. so sad
Now that was premium content
The head of the Military then should have been held responsible. They had information and knew before the Coup.
2 years only in military being tortured is like accusing form ones in High school when strike arise.so painful🤔😪😪
Just imagine my brother, it was horrendous
Good content bro!

A very vindictive, malicious, and vengeful system.
These are some of the reason as to why Moi will never rest in Peace together with the Attorney Generals from 2016.
It's touching..
You are doing a great job.
Thank you sir
we must correct this error. Apollo and all others thank you for your loyal service to our republic. How can we help? Any contribution we can make to better life?
That was and is still a good idea, I personally have struggled from hand to mouth and by the grace of God took my children to school but there's no job, it's so painful that even the children now think the torture has been extended to them also
@@apolloamieno5891Apollo I am only reading this today. Any chance you get this please respond to this message.
Some significant history! That was quite a dark moment in Kenyan history. That was extreme torture and agony for these soldiers. Always important to look back so that we can figure out where we are headed. Aluta continua!
@@henrynjogu6252 You're forgiven because you're too ignorant to learn or unlearn.
Representing team Kenyan Historian🔥🔥
I tell you
“This story of men in black did not start with ODM nominations at Kasarani” , that Killed me dead😂
mazishi lini?
Thanks brother for your appreciation, God 🙏
God will punish these Senior officers who destroyed the lives of many young soldiers who knew nothing about the Coup. Shame on you if are still living...
This guys are supposed to be compensated
All those who are surviving till today poleni sana. One day mtarudishiwa yote mliyopoteza. I had dreams of joining the military at one point.
Great work
A shameless government.
Very shameless mum
In the 80s Kenya was starting to look like Uganda
Fantaboulous
"when i undressed, i thought maybe the guy wanted me to take a shower" apollo amieno-2021
So Peter sabalang jailed for 25yrs came out in 2007-during the violence?
From frying pan into the fire. Life can be quite unfair at times.
As am chatting now, he's in the morgues awating burial, may his soul rest in peace
It's a shame being under your fellow service man but in shackles......
Wauh history in the making
Wow. Keep them coming
Yes, I will sir
No time to watch news😆☑️
Such great enactments from these ex soldiers. You can tell that the Luo guy is quite humorous. What i am wondering is how have they survived all these years without employment?
By the Grace of God the Father
@@apolloamieno5891 Amen. must be hard sir.
By God's Grace which is sufficient
@@apolloamieno5891 indeed. I believe one day all shall be recovered. Continue telling your story. People have to know. Locate your comrades and keep each other close 🙏
People are so.inhuman. now who's God? The same people who tortured these people are under ground.
I was in the army barracks at the time as my father was a soldier then. I was 12 years then. Serikali ni siri kali sana. During war soldiers become devils in human form. After the coup, the military was to be filled everywhere by Kalenjin tribesmen. Was it set up deliberately? Never get into trouble with the military. It's death before you actually die. I thank God that I never became a soldier. May God abolish armies across the globe.
Moi had foreknowledge of the coup but wanted it handled internally by the military. Whether or not he let it fester so that he could then use it to purge all other tribes from the army and civil service, is anyone's guess but I believe he did. What worries me now is the direction Kenya is taking; people wanting to elect certain dangerous people from certain tribes, thieves, Moi orphans back into the center of power. It will set Kenya back decades.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
too unfortunate for these guys. but the documentary does not tell us what exactly happened, who planed, which side was against which side? who won?
Too many Ads.
It's good those those ex servicemen got paid.
Who told you so? Give me any name of one of them who got paid, we won the case and we were awarded in 2016 bit up todate nobody has gotten the compresation
Kizungu ya Mr.Momanyi inanikumbusha composition za raimaa.....
Wakati gani alisema yeye ni mwingereza? Kizungu si lugha lake bana.
Moi alitesa watu sana...he should go to hell
He was almost killed himself in the coup.Did you expect him to react calmly?What if the coup plotters succeeded, what could have happened to him and millions of Kenyans under a military rule? You are a criminals' apologist.
@@TheRonoTV2024 so the best way was to bundle everyone irrespective of whether you knew anything or not? You are a dictator apologist.
Exactly
This people suffered but Raila who was the mastermind of the coup is enjoying tax payers money and hoping to be the president of the nation. They need to be compensated.
Stop yapping you don't know the people behind the coup utafinywa...
Raila didn't even have a say in the coup..your history is poor and you are only obsessed with Raila ..pumbavu enda usome historia vuzuri
The only potent part of your feeble brain is the Railaphobic segment
Understand that the reasons for the coup were numerous and valid; all sorts of injustices, rampant corruption, mismanagement, poverty and disease, cronyism etc. Who was behind the coup wasn't really as important as Moi's ineptitude and inability to steer the country down the right path. And in hindsight, history vindicated the coup plotters, dead or alive.
This thing needs to be pulled down 19:38
Mix sound better next time
Thanks. Our machine had a problem. We have since rectified for the next documentary. We are sorry about the issue and thanks for your support.
How did you guys rise agsinst your own government inorder to help Raila ascend to state House using short cut, you should now gang up and sue him instead of blaming government
Ongea kitu unajua wacha mehemehe
Fala wewe speak based on facts umeskia jina ya Raila apo.....n dont you have brains to understand that these guys were innocent hadi wakawa pardoned.. WACHA KUA MTU BLADIFUCKINI
Kuwa mpole this are wasted lives
Where is Raila coming in brother? Were you there? This thing is still raw in our minds and if you don't know anything,pls take your jokes elsewhere
Mimi kama mkikuyu nasema wewe ni ng'ombe na shenzi ya mwaka!!! No Apologies but Moi and his regime alikuwa shetani incarnate for 24yrs!!
You cant blame the then Government for clamping down at suspected dissidents.It was natural for them to react that way.
Blame fate for you were at the right place at the wrong time.
