Great article. seems like Kenyans forget about the people who gave out there all so that they can enjoy the freedom. Thats the same way we have forgoten the Rubia and Matiba's of our days.
lol @ mimi tu comments
thanks for the history lesson :)
Mimi tu--> Even better. They have to commit more resources ndio wa-benefit from your economic value.
KenyaOnly--> Yes, some of our freedom fighters have lived sorry lives. But do Kenyans owe them luxurious lives? Do we, for instance, have to bail millionare Matiba from his financial woes? Will drop you an email on this issue.
Wambui wa Maitu--> karibu sana.
Kenyanomics, I dont think we need to support the freedom fighters financialy but some of them have lived a terrible life such that they dont even have enough funds to afford medical attention. Government should take the initiative of making sure such individuals do not suffer to an extent they are seeking public help
Its unfortunate that most of them died paupers. While their job was truly remarkable, its sad that they just go unappreciated.
Thanks for the history lesson and the state of lives that they have read. Lets work to see to it that we don't let down their ideals for a prosperous country
