How Odinga’s friend, Jomo, turned against him

Like many Kenyans Jaramogi recognised the fact that the "Release Kenyatta" crusade he had spearheaded in 1958 from Legco had been an effective rallying call, which hastened the process of securing uhuru from the British colonial authorities.

His loyalty to Kenyatta was not by word alone; he proved it by deed when unveiling the Kenyatta Statue in the precincts of Parliament Buildings on December 14, 1964. Jaramogi lauded Kenyatta, describing him as a "living legend."
