@franklinnyaberi363 Your statement is a study in contradiction. There is no way an alliance with the West would have positively impacted Kenya. The West is hell bent on subjugating Africa and Africans. They've only ever wanted to select leaders who they can use to pacify the masses, as they exploit our resources- be it human, minerals, flora or fauna. They accessed Mboya and realised he was a man they could work with. Had Mboya made president, he would have been expected to be a stooge, and if he rebelled they were going to take him out. This documentary proves what I've been thinking the last 1 year; Mboya was taken out by the British (M16) , they were livid with him for building ties with the USA. The CIA (USA) took out Pio Gama Pinto; M16 (UK) took out Mboya. Njenga was framed, the goal was to drive a wedge between the Luo and Kikuyu communities, and they succeeded (divide and rule). Morara blew the lead off the conspiracy when he found Njenga in Lusaka and was assassinated by MI6 agents most likely.

This is such a brilliant documentary, it confirms exactly what I've been thinking this last 18 months or thereabouts and it explains why Kenya is the way it is. People think Ruto is the problem, but he's only a symptom of the problem, the current set up in Kenya (and African as a whole) were planned many years ago. As one of the interviewees said, President Truman was given a paper on Africa in 1947 (shortly after the 2nd World War). If Africans want to understand why we are where we are, we need to look at the rise of Europe after the 2nd World War; the USA devised the Marshall Plan and gave Europe £13 BILLION to rebuild (£175 BILLION in today's money), whilst African countries were given NOTHING to start the post colonial development programmes. Africanist leaders were ousted (Nkurumah) or assassinated (Lumumba) and stooges (yes men) were left to thrive- I'll leave it to you to figure out who were the Africanists and Yes men in Kenya. All I can say is, people need to stop blaming Kenyatta for ALL the assassinations that took place, some of those moves were above his pay grade.

​@@joseO12326Why should there have been Luo Mau Mau's? Mau Mau ineffectively fought for Land. Land which had been taken away from Kikuyu's who were turned into squatters. It was ineffective because it was a neutralized force by the end of 1956. State of emergency was lifted at about the same time. So it neither achieved it's real goal of restoring the stolen land back to Kikuyus nor were they anywhere near the negotiationstable for independence. It was just an overhyped organization that led to a split in the Kikuyu community and setting up the stage for the civil war within Kikuyu tribe in the form of Mau Mau's vs Kikuyu homeguards. There were neither homeguards nor Mau Mau's outside Kikuyu regions.

[@panafrican.nation]

@@georgeodhiambo598 I'm from Mount Kenya and the Mau Mau struggle definitely helped staunch the flow of Europeans into Kenya that was growing from a steady trickle into a heavy flow. The settlers had advertised all over the UK, and even in Australia and South Africa for people to come to Kenya and "live like royalty". Kenya was definitely going the New Zealand route. In fact, there had been serious consideration to set aside 4 million acres for a Zionist state in Kenya/Uganda. Some of us could be going through what Palestine is going through right now. I grew up in a house/farm formerly owned by a colonialist so I'm very interested in the history and have even documented the details of a lot of the settlers that settled within a 100 km radius of where I lived. As far as I'm concerned, the Mau Mau struggle was fruitful and I'm very thankful for it. Of course they were going against far superior opponents, who brought in bomber aircraft and bombed the hell out out of them in the Aberdare forest. Like in anything in Kenya (and the world really), those who fight against an established social order aren't the ones that reap the benefits, but that doesn't negate their struggle.

[@FearlessAfrican]

​@@abdulazizabdillahkijaro3070 When those you mentioned were fighting there was no Nairobi. They were fighting to evict invaders to their tribal lands. At that time Kikuyu also had resisted through Waiyaki wa hinga. Mau mau is a later development after many years of colonial misrule.

While it certainly true that Mboya was the blue eyed boy of the West, he was also groomed as the antithesis of the Soviet leaning Jaramogi and there existed a bitter rivalry between the two something none of those scholars has touched on. Kenyatta saw this as an opportunity to curtail Jaramogi and exploited it. Further, this notion that Kenyatta was a maumau or a freedom fighter needs to be dispensed with. In fact, he never participated in any freedom struggle and was himself a manchurian candidate for the British, who paid for his stay in England as they groomed him to take over from them. This was debunked by the true freedom hero Bildad Kaggia in 1985. Do people ever ask how he switched names from Kamau to Kenyatta and what the thinking and inclination behind that. He betrayed the freedom struggle that he was never part of and took over the land that had been set aside as resettlement schemes all over the country, from Northlands to Taveta , Kedong Valley and Nakuru.

@@adrianodiembo415 Big No, don't ever compare the south African situation to ours, the Europeans liked the SA weather conditions as compared to other countries in Ghana 400 years before our independence what development did we get, not even light

[@georgeodhiambo598]

What do you mean by "us"? Mboya wasn't a Ghanaian.

[@missrono9045]

​@@adrianodiembo415think about the tribal townships in S. A in this year 2024. Think about the grand divide between the haves and the haves not. The xenophobia(other Africans benefitting from what is yours but inaccessible, like good varsities, employment, land rights, markets of exports and imports) They show you what is working, as they hid what isn't. USA is 1st class land, but they have homeless people inside, trailer parks, illiterates, and the black African person is yet to be wholly accepted as an American.

Can Macharia Munene's position be corroborated? I smell some bias

[@agabanicholas4329]

True that

[@alphancechege1418]

Is this News anchor called Cynthia?

[@georgeodhiambo598]

No. It is the one who has prepared the documentary who is called Cythia. She lets her interviewees get away with too much bias and selective amnesia, thus selling their own agenda. Her world of reference appears to be limited to these two old and biased hags carrying the title of history. professors.

[@PushMambo]

Title ni unjinga... like Kenyatta wasnt. He was a bright promising leader who would have helped the country ascend economically. Genz have promising leaders. We cannot allow history to repeat

[@alphonsecapone8667]

Did he buy lotion or medicine from the pharmacy?

[@ogollaerickotieno4767]

But Kenyatta was hiding in the UK for a long time and only hijacked the independence movement, and the purported commentators understands nothing about geopolitics then

What do you mean, "the white man's choice"?

[@brianoyoda5667]

The killers also died

[@ngethah]

If he was indeed the white man's choice, then probably we as a country dodged a bullet.

[@adrianodiembo415]

Think about South Africa and see how he would have been the best President for Africa. Right now we still colonised but nothing to show for it ...

[@trizahmacharia2939]

​@adrianodiembo415 yaani you can reason like this??😂😂😂

[@georgeodhiambo598]

Well he wasn't. If he was the white man's choice, then the white man would have put him in power when they had greater influence. There isn't much sense in this documentary. Politics is all about building alliances. Mboya was great at building networks. Lastly there was nothing fundamentally different between Kenyatta's and Mbuya's political and economic outlook. Mboya just happened to have a strong capacity to analyse and easily crystallize issue. Secondly Kenyatta was a kleptocrat while Mboya was not driven by the desire to steal public funds.

[@Brianoluoch-rx1vb]

That's true

[@agabanicholas4329]

If he had lived, today Kenya 🇰🇪 and East Africa would be like south Africa and Congo

[@Lettersfromhome18]

What a horrible title!

[@kiplangatwillie8933]

Watching this, i believe mboya wasthe man ideal for kenya and africa considering his age. This is now history, but i think the new mboya is William Ruto but lacks some virtues mboya had. Mboya the kenya leader we never had

[@KavaleThomas]

You're joking Mr 😂😢

[@kennedymutinda4806]

It had to be a kiplangat

[@albertkioko6431]

Please rethink. You can't compare Ruto and the 2nd president Kenya never had Tom Joseph Mboya

[@georgeodhiambo598]

Don't mention the Sugoi thief and tribalist where we are discussing Mboya.Mboya didn't steal anyone's land. Ruto is on record as having stolen Mzee Muteshi's land while he was an MP. Mboya didn't organize any Kiambaa genocide. Ruto shares the same platform with the likes of Bokassa.

[@Brianoluoch-rx1vb]

You can never compare the genius mboya who was interested to people's wellbeing to ruto who doesn't care the pain Kenyans are undergoing with the taxation,, mboya would have led the country in a very different way compared to ruto
