Picture taken in 1952.This short man from Murang'a Jessie Kariuki was a thorn in the flesh of moderates/loyalists and the colonial state.They described him as an extremist.They "transported" Kariuki to Marsabit where he joined Lawrence Karugo,John Mbutu Koinange and Babu Kamau.Just goes to show that size matters,not!
The other two lads are the towering Oneko and on the left,62 year old Jomo.
