Did you know that the Nyayo High-rise estate is built on a mass grave?
In 1952, the state of emergency was declared by the British colonial government of the day in its bid to contain the MauMau revolution.
Nairobi became ground zero and thousands of people including my own grandfather and grandmother fell victim as they had been on a business trip in the city that day.
Relatives recall rivers of blood literally flowing through the streets of Nairobi during the massacre.
To cut a long story short, the area where Nyayo High-rise estate sits today was designated a mass grave where all the victims including my grandparents were buried.
They were not to Rest in peace thanks to Moi's greed.
He grabbed the mass grave and built Nyayo High-rise estate.
The rest is history.
If you live in Nyayo High-rise estate, now you know.
I will endeavour to pass on the little knowledge I have every week as a duty in educating the young generation about their historical legacy.
We need to write our own history.
