I also understand that there was no genuine list of those who genuinely went in the forest to fight. There was no formal or organized way of recruiting fighters. There were whispers that some were even not in the forest for fighting at all. They were simply running away from the colonial police.

Incitement. Huwa wanachochewa na akina the likes of Muite and Wakahengeri. And Koigi wa Wamwere. These guys manufacture Mau Mau survivors and descendants. Sometimes they even import them from Ethiopia!!!

Everyone struggled in their own way but some groups were affected more than others.

Kuuliza sio ujinga but how many British did the mau mau terrorists kill and Who was the terrorists’ representative in the Lancaster Talks that actually brought freedoms in the country

@Amused

True there are many people who felt that way. I wasn’t born so I can only say what was passed on. They wanted all the land given back to the Gikuyus, which would have made sense was the economy of the entire country resting on this land, courtesy of the colonialists. And if you start giving it away for free, where do you draw the line on who deserved free land? That, I understand, was the quagmire. Take it for what it’s worth.

You also conveniently forgot to mention Kenyatta and his friends used the land buying scheme to buy off land held by colonialists thereby abusing a scheme that was meant to resettle people scattered all over the country, my dad’s old man for instance worked for some mzungu from Nyeri to Nakuru to Kitale, even if he had gone back to Nyeri what land would he be going back to?

All displaced persons once we attained independence deserved resettlement but once politicians and their cronies saw the opportunity to fund their ‘land-buying’ ambitions a good scheme was corrupted.

Was there any agreement, or promise, or whatever, that those who were affected more were to be paid in any way, and it so happened that they were not paid?
Fighting for our freedom was out of personal sacrifice.

You see, just because your grandfather claimed to be a mau mau doesn’t give you the right or leeway to form illegal militia groups and claim that you were disenfranchised, my own grandfather was detained at Manyani for a good number of years but where is he now? tilling his 2acre farm in Mukurweini, and taking care of some cattle. His sons? They went to school and are now helping themselves with their God-given gifts.PS: I don’t know whether he was a member of mau mau or not coz The British were detaining any able bodied male during the emergency.

To the living we owe respect but to the dead we owe only the truth - Voltaire. The sons of colonial chiefs and collaborators benefited at the expense of freedom fighters’ sons. We have never been free. We have never been emancipated from the yoke of neo-colonialism.

Rubbish. The Kenyatta family had no need to get involved in land buying companies. They simply got allocated land. Land buying companies were started by in entrepreneurial Gikuyus who could not afford to buy land on their own.

I agree that displaced persons should have been settled. But you can’t use that bit of truth to peddle lies.

At that time, freedom and autonomy of the country was inevitable. It was not granted just and only because of the Mau Mau uprising. It was long overdue and it was just a matter of time.
