Former Embaksi MP David Mwenje (1953 - 2008) will be remembered by Embakasi residents for the manner in which he fought for squatters in the area to be allocated (free) land.
He was also the one, alongside Limuru politician Kuria Kanyingi, who was used to force Josephat Karanja to resign as Moi’s VP.
During the multiparty era, Mwenje became founder member of NARC Kenya.
He owned a bar called Leaders. Yeye na mbogi yake walikuwa wana dry fry same lanyes na wakaleft wote na ukedi.
After losing the 2007 elections to “outsider” Mugabe Were, the later was killed a few days later. Sijasema kitu. The ensuing by election brought Waititu to us.
After kupata letter of offer ya kuenda University alituita vijanaaa wote wenye walikua wame qualify kuenda ma Uni kwa bar yake huko sides za Umo One.Alipea kila mtu 10k na tukakunywa pombe hadi tukawacha.Alisema hakuna kubeba.Mwenje alikua roho safi saidi.
Si yeye ndio alipeana Chokaa? I remember chokaa back then kulikuwa na a demolished white building with a big fig tree only. Nothing else. Chokaa nowdays ime grow more than Njiru which has remained the same over the years.
