John Mkaya notes that history as currently taught in schools is biased towards some regions. Says he, "Independence struggle was not about freedom for this nation but some selfish gains for some communities! Mwangeka is a true Taita Legend. No doubt about that. Our Taita legal experts need to raise a case against the British government at to the whereabout of Mwangeka remains." He concludes by saying that Mwangeka deserves a decent burial in the land he died fighting for.
But Godfrey, who comes from Taita confesses that he knew nothing about Mwangeka
until he read about it on this blog. He concurs that even the rest of Kenya knows little, if anything, about this hero. " It is therefore upto us to bring this important part of history back into the limelight. The government is not going to do it for us (why should they?)" He asks.
That's what i have been waiting for you guys to revive. In Werugha Kese, you can find "Monte Video" (yes his name) and he has some bits of good history even for clans.
