In this second part of the interview with Mau Mau Chronicles researcher John Kamau, he talks at length about how the Mau Mau conducted the war of liberation, how the colonial authorities responded and the impact of those measure on the population in the Mt Kenya region and other parts of Kenya. Kamau also explains how the Mau Mau were relegated to the background of Kenyan history when Kenya became independence until President Mwai Kibaki removed the ban that had been imposed by the colonial authorities. The relegation of Mau Mau occurred through a policy of deliberate ostracisation that was spearheaded by colonial sympathisers such as Charles Njonjo, who took advantage of the ailing and a...

    Jomo Kenyatta did an evil thing of denying mau mau land . The genz are their great grandchildren. That's why they are very bitter. They're a time boom . Myself I am direct child of a mau mau. My father and my grandfather were in mau mau movement. My father used to take us around the land he lost . 4yrs I took my children to the same , narrated to them of what happened etc. These are scars which will ever remain.

    This is a very rich untold history. All the regimes apart from Kibakis' hide it. What I learnt from Bildad Kagias' documentary is that Jomo Kenyatta wasn't a mail may , no wonder that's why he acquired junks of land without even caring for those who fought in the forests . My question is very simple; how could a person from the forest get money to buy land ? That's why generations of may may are still poor even today.

    Where on earth could people who had come from the forest fighting could have raised money to purchase land ? I'm of the opinion that Jomo Kenyatta's regime was largely constituted by the home guards , and their families,who had grabbed that opportunity of a young nation. I'm perplexed by the fact that , the land injustice roams even today .
