The latest development by the judiciary under chief justice Willy Mutunga to jet in the court's file on proceedings of freedom fighter Dedan Kimathi case deserves applaud. The revelations in the records have been an eye opener and assisted to impart an important leaf of history to the current generation.
59 years ago, a man bubbling with conviction and believe that his motherland deserves freedom faced the guillotine in the hallways of Kamiti. He chose to pay the ultimate price for freedom ideals. At the centre of freedom agitation and fighting was the land question and the desire for self-governance. Not even the love for his young lovely wife Mukami, his lovely and caring aging mother and a young family could hold him back.
