On Wednesday, Mau Mau War veterans paid a courtesy call on President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House.
The role played by the freedom fighters in the fight for self-rule and independence cannot be overemphasised. Many lost their lives, relatives and property. Whereas they fought to be relieved of the yoke of colonialism, most of them have not been emancipated economically. It is saddening most of them live in dejection and abject poverty, in conditions worse than those they fought to free themselves from the whiteman.
