DO YOU AGREE WITH KIRAITU MURUNGI, WHATS YOUR OPINION??? interview with Kiraitu Murungi Q: You admired Jaramogi, yet you have no love lost with Raila. What is the difference between father and son? A: My father was a Mau Mau and Jaramogi’s book Not Yet Uhuru resonated well with us. We had also read a lot on socialism which was sweeping the continent. Examples were Marxism-Leninism in Ethiopia and Frelimo in Mozambique. We quickly connected with Jaramogi. He was our hero, a radical reformer and likened him to such leaders as Amilcar Cabral of Guinea Bissau. Raila, who had been a lecturer at the University of Nairobi, also joined us in Ford Kenya. The father was a tolerant, patient and amiable man, the son a fighter. Raila is responsible for some of the freedoms we enjoy today. You can’t take it away from him. Both were admirable characters.
