    I'm watching this and it makes me remember my social studies teacher Mr dk wanjohi.....he taught us real history....he used to say I'll teach you what is in the books so you pass the exams then I'll teach you what's real so one day you stand up for your country like those who came before you. He taught us about all these heroes and more . God bless you teacher

      Kumbukumbu kwa hao wanaharakati waliotukomboa kutoka himaya ya wazungu mabeberu wa Uingereza. Tunazira serikali yetu tangia nyakati za Rais wa kwanza, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta kuwaacha na familia zao wasikwao na baadhi yao mahamahamaji. Kenya inahitaji ukombozi mpya wa fikira na utendakazi ili ihudumie wananchi kwa njia faafu.

    I look forward to the day such documentaries will be part of our education system. Otherwise, Kenya cannot pride itself in having a populace that is politically conscious because most of them do not know their history. They are simply guided to make political decisions that affect governance issues based on guesses and political sycophancy. Our education system is really distorted and I hate to admit that I have learned more about Kenyan history from books, biographies, Twitter, You Tube, and The Elephant than from what I studied in primary and secondary school. Thanks Namu for the excellent piece!

      Our history books were published by the Jomo Kenyatta foundation, no wonder we grew with such esteem for the man, in my mind it was Jomo Kenyatta and the Mau mau just like Bob Marley and the wailers, but over time I came to realise that Jomo went in after independence and sought his own good and glory at the expense of almost everyone else.

Turning against the very people who were vouching and eagerly waiting for your release only goes to show how two-faced Jomo was. I cry for all the communities and people who fought and shed blood for the freedom and land that has been stolen and everyday is being stolen right in front of our eyes. May we be found on the right side of history. This is my prayer.

    Kenyatta didn't deserve to be the president. Actually am among the few if any Kikuyu who hates that man. Kenya would be like Singapore and other countries which received independence so early as we. How can you steal from a naked man who has fought for what he is standing on. Why do Kenyatta family own vast lands both in Central and Riftvalley and worst of all even in coast province? Even if Baimunge was an illiterate, Kenyatta used the most barbaric method in executing justice to the fellow allies who fought so hard. The day I will see justice in Kenya is the day a leader immune to corruption and blackmail will recognize the blood shed and impose "purity" in justice. Kikuyu's might celebrate their own in presidency, but how many have enough resources courtesy of their own leaders? Very few if any. Walk through the stretch of Narumoru, you find a land associated to a single person stretching more than 10km. How can we utter justice and equity if such inequity practices are in place to date? We are not blind.
    Since independence I bet the development made can't add up to 10% of what was done by they the British from 1930 when they declared Kenya one of their territories to 1953 when the Mau mau regime commenced.
    I stand to be proved wrong, most of tribesmen are elected in the name of defending tribe properties, which is a total injustice since its not the properties of the common citizen but those of the corrupt leaders being protected. KENYA WILL ONE DAY WAKE UP. AND KENYATTA MESSED KENYA A BIG TIME, HE OWE US PEACE AND JUSTICE WHEREVER HE IS.

    Kenyatta should have handled this differently as soon as he assumed power. Kenyatta is the reason Kenya is such a fucked up nation 59 years later!

    Every Kenyan needs to watch this, learn the true history of our country. Its only then that we get the right footing to right the numerous wrongs in our beloved country. It breaks my heart that such injustices happened to people who sacrificed their literal lives. That Kenyatta thought he would short change the Mau Mau n get away with it is beyond evil. That family's downfall will be monumental.

    I am very impressed by the senior counsel articulation of the events behind the murder of the real heroes of the liberation. It's always the same especially with Africans, we are our worst enemy. Just like Lucky dive said, the enemy will stand aside and watch as we kill one another. Most African have a memory span of a warthog driven by greed.

    I wondered if Dedan Kimathi had a successor. Now I know. Land was the source of greed and inhumane acts upon post independent Kenya. Joseph Murumbi speaks quite eloquently. Exposure of soldiers in World War II: Truly, kutembea kwingi ni kuona mengi. About the British 'expedition': the white man is a greedy brute and for Kenyans to fight each other in the 21st century is sad. Internal conflict will break you down while the new scramble for Africa will leave you. Think higher, work smarter and remember your ancestors...they expect you to do better now that you have history to learn from.

Apparently I hear that the Kenyan government received money from the UK some years ago to Compensate the freedom fighters, where is the money? It is such a SHAME, SHAME!!

They fought and died in a war that had nothing to do with them in a faraway land as their land was in Kericho was grabbed to plant tea! I shed tears!

    • @georgeodhiambo598

      The money was provided by the British government in the form of loans and grants to buy out the white settlers who wanted to leave. And the white settlers were compensated but most of that land was transferred to the new ruling class and in particular, Kenyatta and his friends.

    Official registration of the Mau Mau
    On 11 November 2003, the Kibaki government formally registered the Mau Mau movement, disregarding the colonial-era legislation that had outlawed the organisation and branded its members "terrorists". In his remarks during the handing over of the certificate, Vice President Moody Awori regretted that it had taken 40 years for the group to be officially registered despite the sacrifices the Mau Mau had made for Kenya's independence.[27]
