"THAT ETHIOPIAN MAN WAS NOT MY FATHER," SAYS GEN. STANLEY MATHENGE'S SON

The son of Gen. Stanley Mathenge has been through hell. When his father went into the forest, his mother was immediately detained and the young man was put in an orphanage together with other children of Mau Mau fighters. Closely watched by white colonial officers, including John Nottingham, a young, kind-hearted District Officer, he moved from one bostal home to another, until his mother's release from detention. After independence, senior government officials brought him to Nairobi under the pretext that they would take him to Europe for studies but they abandoned him in the city where he turned to drugs. The late Bildad Kagia tried to rescue him, but took him into opposition politics, becoming the Secretary of KPU in Nyeri, and suffering political and economic dereliction as a result . He tells of his engagement by the late journalist Joseph Karimi and eventual travel to Ethiopia in search of his father, who had for a long time been rumoured to have been residing quietly in Ethiopia. However, he realised that it was a wild goose chase and that the old Ethiopian man at the centre of the drama was, in his opinion, fake.

May Almighty God bless the people behind this KZbin channel....this information and recordings should be on national television

[@camauhel-joe7539]

There were a lot of backroom politics at play as our Mau Mau heroes were busy fighting and laying down their lives for our land. They literally ended up with the short end of the stick. I can only imagine their frustration and disappointment 😢😢 Keep sharing and God bless you 🙏

[@winniethuo9736]

Group thinking can sometimes be the very thing that oppresses us. Wahenga wanasema akili ni nywele na kila mtu anazake, hence the backroom politics when we try to put our nyweles together one person has to either compromise or be oppressed. Hakuna motokaa inaendeshwa na watu wawili. It's a hard knock life, this being a human thing.

[@maumauchronicles4296]

True. Mau Mau heroes were not recognized by the postcolonial government.

[@SierraKiringi-xi3vp]

TRUE. Jomo Kenyatta and Harry Thuku etc etc etc went unto the side of the colonisers in 1963. The Mau Mau were oblivioned. ☹️☹️😡😡☹️☹️

[@kamau2381]

[@maumauchronicles4296]

[@hon.patrickmuiruri6289]

Prof Good evening?.ln today's nation there's a story by one detailing the murder of Late Thomas Mboya. To me it collaborates what Mirugi Mathenge has told us time in his interview and factual knowledge of Nahashon Njenga and system conspiracy to assassination of Tom Mboya. Please 🙏 talk to thman in today's nation who's now 92 years but with a sharp memory. Once done a lot and unheard truth will be known. Am yet to hear from you as l too have something to say. I know the gun that gunned Pinto is the same that gunned Tom Mboya. I knew Nahashoon Njenga's wife. Have a good weekend

[@SierraKiringi-xi3vp]

Hon Kariuki Njiiri had become MP Kigumo in 1961. He stepped down for Mzee Kenyatta later so that Mzee Kenyatta could attend the 2nd Lancaster Conference as MP Kigumo.

[@maumauchronicles4296]

True

[@SierraKiringi-xi3vp]

He should also tell us the much he can remember about his father Mathenge Wa Mirugi

[@maumauchronicles4296]

Agreed.

[@SierraKiringi-xi3vp]

The airport was Embakasi not JKIA. Peter please tell us much more about Njenga in greater detail. Njenga had been sent to Bulgaria to train as a sapper. He was a KANU Youth Winger of the Lumumba lnstitute.

[@SierraKiringi-xi3vp]

Please please interview this man to provide more details about Nahashon lsaac Njenga Njoroge PLEASE.

[@maumauchronicles4296]

Will try to.

[@SierraKiringi-xi3vp]

OK. Especially since Njenga' s co conspirator is still alive, the 95 year old man from Runyenjes, Embu County. He recently confessed in the Saturday Nation.

Next time carry some water for the veteran

[@maumauchronicles4296]

Home guard progenies are funny! How can you tell there was no water?

[@NgugiKamau-rr3zp]

I personally went to konyu and confirmed from mathenged family and agemates that indeed it was mathenge uncircumcised coz he was recruited as underage soldier by the British colonial government !It was GENERAL STANLEY MATHENGE!

[@maumauchronicles4296]

Which family members? Which age mates? Yours sounds like a cock and bull story.

[@muziki79]

​@maumauchronicles4296 Ngugi wa Kamau is using Pythagoras theory, otherwise known as theory za jaba in modern Kenya 😅

[@NgugiKamau-rr3zp]

In as much as you are a rude uncultured personality and most likely a low life,I will answer for the sake of others curious about our nations history.kingathias family is a famous one at konyu.we had attended his mother's funeral the time the General was in kenya.they are separated by a small stream and attended.thats where I and others learned the truth.and be polite on this platform.shame on you

[@SierraKiringi-xi3vp]

No Gikuyu woman in the 1940's would've accepted to marry a "kihii". l.am sure his aging wife is definitely circumcised.
