Mashujaa Day was observed across the country on Monday with Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho accusing police of taking bribes from drug peddlers.

Now wait for it......Babu will claim Maraga has been compromised and is supporting Uhuru.Kisiis braces yourselves for business destruction and some missiles.

Kisii's ni vichwa ngumu. Hawatishwi, infact if our brothers from the lake repeat destruction of Kisii's property they will be on the receiving end because most of their livelihood is dependent on Kisii's.

1. Fresh Food supply
2. Bus transport to Homabay, Oyugis, Migori
3. Banking services...(Most banks are in Kisii) they travel from Migori to carry out their business in Kisii.
4. Etc

I like the way they plant Dedan Kimathi's wife in the center of all this.

Or even how Dedan is made a shujaa.

So an idea struck me: When Dedan was about to die he's said to have written a letter - from 'Histories of the hanged'- that requested for the education of his children/child.

Were his final requests met? The other day it was his grandson chaining himself to the statue. Now, whatever education that might have led to the chaining, must be sufficient for the grandson to be somewhere in the line for presidency, no?

Therefore, shujaas are those meant to be remembered in order to be forgotten? Like Kimathi's statue, it works in this way. Once you see him on the street, you forget him immediately.

Just like his widow.

Tycho, Kimathis legacy was saved by no other than Mandela. After coming from jail, one of his first ports of call was Kenya where he demanded to meet Kimathis wife and extolled Kimathis inspiration to him at Kasarani.

That is how old Jomo and Moi's shameful effort to bury the Kimathi legacy was halted. Before that few even knew that Kimathi had left a family. Then his fellow Nyerian became President and the rest is history.
