Allow those who went to the forest, sacrificed their lives, made vows to themselves and their people then subsequently got betrayed and sidelined by Kenyatta to express their sentiments and emotions in peace.

Baimungis family's experience is the same for thousands of families. Grant them that space.

People judge Jomo using today's lenses. Because umepata Kenya ikiwa imara unafikiria it has always been like that? Countries gaining independence didn't have much in terms of institutions, and the British simply gave a short cource on governance and left. People like Jomo and his homeguard civil servants built this country - no way would we be where we are if Kenya was given to uneducated soldiers direct from the forest. Yes, they needed to be compensated and paid well, but that was that. They were simply doing their duty to their own people and country.

And one more thing. It is because of Jomo's brilliance that Kenya never ever experienced thekind of military chaos that virtually all Africa countries did. He walked the tight-rope between the Soviets and the Americans with absolute mastery, even having Nairobi become the third home of the UN. Many might take things like this for granted today, but they were stellar achievements.

I think he did a good job of transitioning the country from the Mbeberu administration and economy to the African one by having the right people in key places. He handed over a functioning, strong economy to Moi.
I agree his administration had its lows but let's not be blinded by hatred

Because of his age during his presidency,there was state capture by some nigas who still make us cry until this day.
But again,he ferked Ug and Tz over the East Africa Community. Made good foundation for many state corporations that Moi and his henchmen ran to the ground.

But he messed up with the real maumau.

What Kenyatta did to Kenya is akin to a crowd saving a man from committing suicide the proceeding to beat him to death kumfunza adabu.
