i should try come here more often. Actually the coup was known and when MO1 was briefed about it and urged to arrest the plotters he remarked "sasa wanataka kuchukua serikali wapeleke wapi?"

History as always is written by the victors

Was he arrested for nothing? & @mkonotupu the question that Mo1 asked Mulinge was, "mnataka kuniua na mmepindua serikali?"

One guy who probably rues not doing this is Bw. Mbeki down south.

no wonder you are being respected for bowing to him. He suffered yes but was he innocent? He escaped the hangman to become the king after his dad's death. And he was out in 1990

post a bit vague. Nilidhani ulilala? Nafanya research hapa. But the fellows who pride themselves in having the info would rather hoard it and lord over us 'text book historians'. I wonder who these other hoarding types are classiifed as. Maybe 'village bar historians'

If my memory serves me right he was released June 1989,rearrested in July 1990 with Matiba and Rubia then released in June 1991 before briefly fleeing for his life to Norway but I may be wrong.

u right @ mawinder, he was one of the planners of sabasaba

So the researchers had more than enough information about the research? at least now a number of wazuans know it aint as easy as some would like it to be.....Odinga...

So its worse!? A man who'll gladly sell-out others, for his own selfish gains.. especially when the going gets tough. It then comes as no surprise how Baba Gidi has made a mockery of him ever since. True professor that one!

Am not coming in @McReggae.'s defence but the absence of rinks!!! In this thread is irritating. His monosyllabic one liners loaded with inuendos are not helping his case. He comes out to make matters worsr most wazuans are not even 8-4-4 proper yaani ile ya M01. -those who did art&crafts , home science, music and agriculture and by extension know zilch about 82 having been born or schooled under ubaks. The lack of online or published literature has not helped matters.

?queshion¿¿ ever wondered¿¿ why Sir Charles came out campaigning out for Rayila¿¿¡¡
Rao served in M01's gava as KANU secretary Gen and Minister?

Now tragedy is what help if any has been extended to the families of kina Ochukas rink, Okumus,Odongo,Opiyo,Obuon,Ogidi,Oteyo... By Former PM and Njonjo?
There are many living ex '82 Airforce service men still alive why are they not setting the record straight?. Where are memoirs by Gen Kibwana and Col. MulingeMola amurehemu na Mambo Mbotela wa VoK. We shall never know what really down that Sunday August 82 the story has been spread around by word of mouth for too long mpaka you dont know which version to believe. At least nation has made know why a certain Hezekiah Oyugi and The Sumbeiywos were powerful during Nyayo era

let me put my spin why did Uhuru invite M01 to Statehouse on the anniversary?
