Widow’s hope for Kimathi’s body now dying away

For decades, the Mau Mau fighter's widow has longed to locate the spot where his bones rest

“I want to see my husband’s grave. I want to get his body and bury him like a king because he sacrificed his life for Kenya to be free”.

This was the request Field Marshal Dedan Kimathi’s wife Mukami Kimathi made in Nairobi on February 18, 2017 during the 60th commemoration of the Mau Mau leader killed by British government in 1957.
