Around 1960-62 Is this true?  Jaramogi didn't say Kenyatta deserved it more, he refused to be made a PM whilst Kenyatta and others where still in prison. African solidarity Jaramogi said. Eventually when Kenyatta was freed,Jaramogi was not appointed PM. Credit to Jaramogi. Why did he actually refused that golden chance to rule the new country? Was it due to utter ignorance? Yaani it's impossible for you to fathom that Someone can actually put Country before self? His reasoning was not that Kenyatta Suffered more, rather that He wanted Kenya to be one. So after Kenyatta left the cells and became PM/President he decided Kenya to be two! He should have grabbed the opportunity and led the Nation to prosperity,we would not be talking about Singapore and Malaysia by now. To me he feared leadership.Hakuna mambo na nationalist here. And Pamba instead of running in 2002 declared Kibaki tosha and was promised nusu mkate which he was given in 2008 and squandered his share and 10 years later he is moving around the lake begging for votes with his coalition of wild cats which he won't allow to eat even the fish bones.Talk of wasted years.

For the purposes of being politically correct, i think it would be best to describe this action by Jaramogi as Nationalism or selflessness.
