Somewhere in the conversation the greatness of this man is being dispelled as a romour.
Mpende msipende, this was a rare gem in the midst of the rot that africans keep yapping about.
Overrated!
Ditto!!!We have our own Dedan Kimathi,Jaramogi Oginga,
Raila,the Kapenguria 7 etc.
Raila of carpets? I think akina @Am will have something to say about that.
Dedan Kimathi? Please tell me one good deed or a wise quote from him. Just one quote please will do for me.
Jaramogi? He of tafutia watu wangu kazi? The one who had to be president no matter what?
My goodness, Kapenguria 7? The ones with all the land at the coast?
Let's be serious.
It's ok to be a bit wary of press reports. It's also ok to love Kenya a lot.
It is however foolhardy to try and get a Kenyan that is close to this man. Maybe akina Muge, who you killed. Koigi who you made broke. Murumba who you destroyed. Father Kaiser who you killed.
As in Kenya destroys heroes and instead gets suspects for presidents and land grabbers for leaders, and public money looters for MP's.
Then we want to compare them to people who have seen the errors of their ways and capture the imaginations of each and every human being on earth.
Please redo your list mawinder and Impunity, I'm willing to be convinced.
