Have been listening to the just ended programme on Citizen with two Mau Mau veterans and their lawyer. The two guys Macharia and Kihunguri were very accurate (in my opinion) on the rationale for their case. Macharia went further to present the case of the home guards and the one person who took the place of the wazungu. I mean the one person who nyakuad all the land after the Englishmen left.

I fully support their case against the British government. But I wonder why they did not spell any action against the One (Mzungu mweusi) whom they described so well or the family he left behind.

And I know you know this mzungu mweusi.

Is it the typical Kenyan style of focusing on the easiest target while ignoring the critical target? At least mzungu alienda (except a few delameres) but the wazungu weusi (at least their families) remained and they are still sitting on the land.

@ spendthrift,

The actions of the real white and the fake were completely different.

The real white displaced the indegenous lot and meted out some injustices on them.

The fake just double crossed the indegenous cleverly and legally.

It may be difficult to have a case against the fake for he did not take anything from anybody by force...
