In the olden days, information seldom traveled beyond the immediate vicinity of an incident or the families involved. To outsiders, this often created the illusion of secrecy, whereas for those directly concerned, the details were considered common knowledge, so much so that they were rarely repeated.
Take, for instance, the case of Gachagua. For years, rumors circulated that he was the son of Moi, given their striking resemblance. This speculation gained further traction when Gachagua was appointed a District Officer (DO) at a notably young age. Despite the persistent whispers and conjecture, there has never been any concrete evidence or public acknowledgment from the individuals involved to confirm this connection.
However, within some village or clan, the full story often exists, preserved through generations. In the past, when a man fathered a child with a woman, it became a matter of clan matter that demanded certain rituals and protocols to be observed. A man couldn't simply disappear without trace. Men took pride in their progeny and adhered to cultural practices to assert their paternity, ensuring that such events were properly recorded and acknowledged within the clan.
It appears that Gachagua's complete story has finally surfaced, dispelling long-held suspicions and bringing clarity to his lineage. Similarly, one might wonder about Lee Njiru, whose interactions with Moi and their resemblance have sparked similar speculation. Could there be a hidden chapter in his story as well, waiting to be revealed by those who hold the key to the past?
