#LandIsNotProperty Mwalimu Wandia
My dear brother, Mau Mau fought against land alienation, police violence and lack of sovereignty. They were not alone. The trade unionists, Dini ya Msambwa and Barsirian arap Manyei were also in colonial detention at the same time. What made the status of the Mau Mau different is that the British decided to also engage in collective punishment of the Kikuyu Embu and Meru and pretend that the struggle was ethnic, not political. So few Kenyans know that the Maasai, the Kamba and the Luhya participated in the Mau Mau. Chief Mukudi of Samia was detained by the British for administering the Mau Mau oath. I saw ES Atieno Odhiambo mention some Luo soldiers in the Nairobi ranks of the Mau Mau but I lost the reference. I'll keep looking for it. Independence isn't liberation. It's the management of the colonialist state by Africans. The whites were not chased out. They are still here. They still own land, plantations, mines and major installations. They gave us CBC. They just got a military agreement in Mombasa which exempts soldiers from prosecution. Wazungu didn't leave. They retreated from visibility, but not from power. Until the late 1950s, the British had no intention of leaving. In their dream, Kenya was to be a multi-racial state. Shortly after, they aimed to leave in 1975. Then after, they decided to leave in 1963, but before they did that, they needed to ensure that Kenya was left in the hands of the sympathizers, your Lancaster people and the #IwenttoAlliance's. Whites remained in the independence government, protected by Sir Charles Njonjo of Kabeteshire. Bruce Mackenzie was Ministry of Agriculture. Humphrey Slade the Parliament speaker. Goeffrey Griffin, a former information officer, started Starehe. Carey Francis moved to Pangani High School. In 1972, UoN students were violently suppressed by the police after complaining about the architecture department being staffed by wazungu faculty who were failing the students. Guess who was in charge of Nairobi Provincial Police? James Myles Oswald, who had killed many Mau Mau fighters. The decision of the British to hand over the state to Africans was forced by the African resistance, of which Mau Mau was a major player. The British realized that it would be too expensive to keep suppressing rebellion, especially because the Mau Mau started to regroup in 1961. Plus the whole pan-African world's imagination was captured by the resistance. It was cheaper for the British to have African elites, your favorite Lancaster guys, rather than settlers, in charge. But overall, the British remained in charge from London. Forcing the British to hand over the colonial state doesn't mean we were liberated. It just means we got black settlers in charge of the state, instead of white ones. Reading helps even the best and the brightest.

In their 8 years of existence MauMau only killed 32 white settlers, an average of 4 whites a year. Where did this narrative that they chased the British come from? My thoughts are no one group fought for our independence. The group at Lancaster was equally as instrumental. In fact Britain left willingly and installed a puppet.

Chase a bag, sawa but if the only commercial opportunity available at that scale is a government conference, shouldn't we be worried? Isn't that a sign that things are not working? A indication that the private sector is struggling?

Why must procurement in Kenya be skewed? Just because someone designed the lighting in your son's matatu, you don't have to give him the contract for your official residence. SMH🙄

One of the sponsors of this Kenya-France summit is Ruai Family Hospital, also most often referred to as RFH Healthcare. Their sponsorship board display was prominent during this concert last night. And this is why their involvement is a classical example of the governance and leadership rigor mortis under William Ruto. This administration loves the corrupt and the controversial- and they have absolutely no sense of shame or benefit of hindsight. The Ministry of Health contracted Ruai Family Hospital (RFH Healthcare) to provide medical and ambulance services during the France-Africa Forward Summit, despite glaring corruption scandals and well-documented allegations involving unethical practices and fraud if public health funds and medical malpractice and negligence reports. 1. In August 2021, The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council revoked the operating license of Ruai Family Hospital over alleged violation of COVID-19 Vaccination regulations, accusing the hospital of diverting vaccines to other unauthorised premises. Some patients died after failing to get doses and jabs of AstraZeneca, Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, Janssen and Sinopharm. 2. In June 2017, a woman sued the hospital after her baby’s foot was amputated. Ruai Family Hospital negligence forced the baby’s foot to be amputated after turning gangrenous, after doctors left surgery debris and paraphernalia in the foot for over three weeks. One hopes they did not amputate Youssou N'Dour’s plicae vocales after last night’s performance. 3. Ruai Family Hospital was among several private hospitals in Kenya accused of participating in fraudulent activities targeting the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). Ruai Medical Centre was identified among numerous facilities flagged in August 2025 during a crackdown on suspicious multi-million shilling claims made to the SHA. Reports indicated that some hospitals, including branches linked to RFH, were involved in inflating bills, conducting unnecessary surgeries, and creating fictitious patient claims. The rest of allegations are available in public domain, yet the facility will be paid tax payer’s money, probably drawn from the The Social Health Authority which they attempted to defraud, for this union of the corrupt.
