Untold Story: The Night Mzee Jomo Kenyatta died( Part 1)

[@MundiaKamau]

Thanks for this KTN News Kenya. Excellent work, great history. Inspector Wambugu refers to G.K. Kareithi and Kanyotu. G.K. Kareithi, in those days, was the Head of the Civil Service, and James Kanyotu, in those days was the Director of Intelligence. Back then, what we today know as the National Intelligence Service (NIS), was known as the Directorate of Security Intelligence (DSI), and/or "Special Branch." Inspector Wambugu also mentions Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) which had actually not been opened at the time. Inspector Wambugu must mean, Embakasi Airport, Nairobi, because Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) was opened on 8th December 1978. Udi Gecaga, also mentioned by Inspector Wambugu, was Mzee Kenyatta's son-in-law, was married, at the time, to Mzee Kenyatta's daughter, Jeni Kenyatta. Udi Gecaga, in those days, was the Deputy Chairman of Lonrho East Africa. Oloitiptip refers to Stanley Shapashina ole Oloitiptip, a Kenya Cabinet Minister (Kenya Cabinet Secretary), of those times. Oloitiptip, as I recall, was at the time, Minister for Natural Resources (Cabinet Secretary for Natural Resources). Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, 28th February 2024.

He was one of the true leaders of Africa like DR Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, President Modebokaita of Mali, President Top Man of Liberia, President Nelson Mandela of South Africa, President Mugabe of Zimbabwe, only to mention a few. They were in for the Liberation and development of their people. May Allah give us such selfless leaders so that together we shall achieve our dream of United States Of Africa (USA). This is the only way we can Free ourselves from colonialism, Slavery, Poverty and Exploitation by the Super Power Nations.

There was a huge entity called Kenya Posts and Telecommunication corporation. Find out when it was formed and what it did.

[@CritterFritter]

A few. Large heavy black desk phones. On the side was a crank handle that created an electronic signal to a switchboard operator. Service was often interrupted for hours and days, and one had to assume a government official was screening calls for possible secrets. I attended school at Kijabe at Rift Valley Academy and attempted to call the United States. A complex and tedious task, especially at 0200. Many Kenyans live in the US near my home now. It is easy for them to call home to their families and send money by Mpesa. Times changed, communication improved. 🤷‍♂️

[@MundiaKamau]

@@CritterFritterYou were in Rift Valley Academy (RVA)? What years were you at RVA? I was in Lenana School from 1982 to 1985, and in those days, there were fierce rivalries, in rugby, between RVA, Lenana School and Nairobi School. St. Mary's School, Nairobi, dominated Kenya schools rugby in the 1990s and in the early 2000s, till about the year 2003. Times have changed since around the year 2003, and the likes of RVA, Lenana School, Nairobi School and St. Mary's School, Nairobi, no longer dominate Kenya schools rugby. Since around the year 2005, Kenya schools rugby has been dominated by the likes of Musingu High School, St. Mary's, Yala, Kakamega High School, Upper Hill School, Laiser Hill Academy, Kamukunji High School and Muhuri Muchiri High School. "Those who were last (back in my time) are now first" and "the stones that the builders rejected (back in my time), have now become the head cornerstones." Kenya did very well on the world stage in Sevens Rugby in the 2000s and 2010s. For example, Kenya made history by winning the Singapore Sevens in 2016. Kenya also reached the semi-finals of the Sevens Rugby World Cups of 2009 and 2013, were runners-up in the 2009 Adelaide Sevens, were runners-up in 2013 Wellington Sevens, were runners-up in the 2018 Canada Sevens, and were runners-up in the 2018 Hong Kong Sevens, Quite something, right? None of the the Kenyan players who made history by winning the 2016 Singapore Sevens were in either RVA, Lenana School or Nairobi School, and only one of them was in St. Mary's School. The rest were, by and large, in the other schools I mention above. The coach of the Kenya team that won the 2016 Singapore Sevens, was in Musingu High School, mentioned above. Club rugby in Kenya has also changed, and it is no longer teams like Nondescripts, Kenya Harlequins, Mean Machine, Blak Blad or Barclays Bank (today Absa Bank) that dominate club rugby in Kenya, but rather, teams like Kabras Sugar, Kenya Commercial Bank and Mombasa Sports Club. Mwamba, still feature quite prominently in Kenya club rugby, as they also did back in my time. There was a resurgence at Impala in the late 1990s up until around the year 2005, a time when Impala dominated Kenya club rugby, though since then, Impala no longer feature prominently in Kenya club rugby. Someone who left Kenya in the 1970s or 1980s, will be quite surprised today in 2024 if he or she were to visit Kenya, during the rugby season, and do a tour of both Kenya schools rugby and Kenya club rugby. I love the way the face of Kenya rugby has changed, though more can be done to expand the game of rugby in Kenya, more can be done to institutionalise rugby in Kenya, because rugby is still regarded an elite sport in Kenya, still regarded in the league of the likes of golf.
