    a parent suffers more for the child than the child would ever suffer for the parent....powerful statement. I would even think that the "parents" who underwent struggle to deliver freedom from the colonialists and the dictatorial power under Moi, would want for us to defend the freedom that was delivered to us. Sadly, several of our political leaders and the population take this for granted

    The KOIGI Wamwere story is most touching regrading the political prisoners that existed through Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel Moi’s presidency until the time 2002 when KANU and Moi were dislodged from power in Kenya. Koigi is longest detained political prisoner in Kenya of all the detainees of our time, having done 13 years cumulatively. The narrative that Raila Odinga suffered the longest is untrue and historians should not allow such naked lies to be told by young journalists who do not want to stick to the facts because they advocate for a certain leader of political party. the late Kenneth Njindo Matiba was probably the most tortured detainee of all President Daniel Moi’s detainees and until he died in 2018, the President Moi had not apologized to Matiba or his family nope to the Kenyans. There many other Kenyans who suffered detention and they cut across the community divide in this country, many of whom have passed on. It was therefore ironical that the passing on of President Moi triggered little emotion from among the people save of the hypocritical political class that is ever deceitful. Yes, we like to pretend to give the positive side of a dead person at his funeral and of course we over dramatized thins at Moi’s funeral knowing very well he had committed untold atrocities to our brothers and sisters and mothers. Although, we have no certainty that Moi’s sole landed in heaven on arrival, we believe if it did, there was a very big struggle and his case took days for God to reach judgement. Angles must have alerted Wangari Muta Mathaai, Kenneth Matiba, Martin Shikoku, Ngotho Kariuki, Bishop Muge, John Marie Serony, Ms Chelagat Kimutai, Charles Wanyoike Rubia, George Mosetti Anyona, Dr. Robert Ouko that their chief tormentor was at the arrivals reception waiting to be directed to his dormitory. There are no special or private rooms there and so, all residents in a wing know and see each other and especially the new arrivals who they help to take around and orient them for familiarity with the facilities and the rules that apply. Those who fail to arrive to the reception of a particular wing after judgement are obviously directed to the alternative wing for admission. However, a general announcement is made on a 24X7 basis every time a new soul is declared to have been cleared to exit the earthly world and has boarded the Wide Double Gauge Rail (WDGR) to God’s mysterious space.
