A day after the country commemorated the 41st memorial of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, human rights activist, Boniface Mwangi, now wants the government to transfer the body of the late president from the country’s capital city to his native village in Ichaweri, Kiambu.
In a hard-hitting statement, the controversial activist said that it was high time the body was moved so that the country can forget alleged atrocities committed during the former president’s regime.
According to the activist, during Jomo’s tenure, several crimes against humanity were allegedly committed which disqualifies the founding father as a symbol of unity.
In a Facebook post, Mwangi went further to refer Mzee Kenyatta as a traitor “who killed the independence dream after betraying other freedom fighters”.
“Kenya is today governed by sons of home guards and thieves courtesy of Kenyatta 1, he was landgrabber number 1, a tribalist and a murderer. He planted the seeds of corruption and state capture, our country’s poverty can be traced back to how he betrayed our independence,” Mwangi claimed.
Mwangi’s post comes after President Uhuru Kenyatta abolished the public celebration of Mzee Kenyatta’s memorial day with this year’s being the last.
Uhuru was speaking on Thursday after laying a wreath of flowers at the mausoleum of the founding president, where he stated that after consulting his family, they decided to be celebrating their father in private moving forward.
“As President, I have consulted the family of the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, and after consulting them, we have agreed together that this is going to be the last celebration of Mzee in this manner,” he remarked during a mass at All Saints Cathedral.

NO, THE SEEDS OF CORRUPTION WAS SOWN BY THE VULTURE CAPITALISTS WHO GRABBED FERTILE LAND FROM THE KENYAN TRIBES AND STARTED EXTRACTING SLAVE LABOR FROM THE LOCALS THEY HAD DRIVEN FROM THEIR LAND PARCELS WHEN THE COLONIALISTS CREATED THE SPRAWLING SLUMS, THEN KNOW AS AFRICAN LOCATIONS, TOWNSHIPS (South Africa)!
Yes, the Kenyan founding fathers were collaborators with the British colonialists who never stopped owning and controlling Kenya while hiding behind the black faces they carefully handpicked for that purpose! This is the MAIN reason WHY ELECTIONS IN KENYA ARE SYSTEMATICALLY RIGGED! The Kenyan black idiots caved in and and chose to behave like the colonial masters themselves while amassing wealth for themselves and family members! They became the extended hands of the COLONIAL MASTERS!
These LOW IQ African elites are the remote controlled push-buttons and behave exactly like white supremacists who control them! Their current descendants are the brainwashed political elites who continue to behave worst than the colonial masters themselves, making many Kenyan question why on earth Kenya became independent on 12/12/1963??
They live larger than the colonial masters by stealing, auctioning public treasures/lands and accumulate mountains of human enslaving DEBTS from the same colonial MASTERS who are the ultimate financial winners in the HUMAN DEVOURING and ENSLAVING system called VULTURE CAPITALISM (a man-devouring-man system).
This is the system that believes that human talents and ambitions belong to the 0.01% of the thieves who control the resources using violence ! They are afraid of the human poverty and filth they have generated around them and are armed to teeth in preparation for what may happen should the 99.99% of citizens they ravage with poverty should decide that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
WHY DO ODM AND OTHER POLITICAL PARTY ELITES SO HELL BENT ON BEING THE REPRESENTATIVES OF KENYANS LIVING IN THE SLUMS OF KIBERA, despite the fact that they do not reside in these slums????

WHAT PART DID KADU collaborators play in this saga of African elites becoming the British Colonial COPYCATS?
African elite copycats have done the most damage to Africa!
(a) IN Democratic Republic of Congo where minerals are extracted using children
(b) Rwandan Genocide, where African elites caused the slaughter of millions of Africans
(c) In Uganda where Idi Amin, the graduate from Kings African Rifles, was set loose on fellow Ugandan citizens!
(d) In South Sudan where Salvar Kiir and Riek Machar are busy driving out Sudanese citizens from the Nile Water Basins
(e) Liberia and Sierra Leone where Charles Taylor slaughtered thousands
The only talent African elites seem to possess is the art of killing the very citizens they are suppose to protect!!!
