Kenya's Silenced Heroes: Patriots Betrayed by Power


Listen Later

The provided source is an essay published by the KENYA WANTAMNOTAM MOVEMENT (KWM) on their website, urging Kenyans to remember true national heroes whose legacies were suppressed or erased by post-independence governments. The text presents a chronological list of figures, including journalists like Pinto Gama Pinto and political leaders such as J.M. Kariuki and Dr. Robert Ouko, who were assassinated or marginalized for opposing corruption and inequality. The central argument is that the nation's history has been distorted, honoring corrupt leaders like Jomo Kenyatta while failing to build monuments for patriots like Mau Mau fighter Dedan Kimathi or principled Vice President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. Ultimately, the source frames the act of remembering these unrewarded figures as essential resistance against ongoing state impunity and greed in Kenya.
