The Mau Mau veterans in Narok County are now calling on the government to push the British government to expedite compensating the few remaining freedom fighters so that they can enjoy their sweat before their sun-set.
Wanjiku Wagachoka, 102, recalled her youthful days when she used to secretly carry food to the caves and in the forest, where the warriors who were fighting for the freedom of the country were hiding.
She painfully recalled that her husband was shot dead in the fight a few days after she was married making her a widow to date.
The promise by the British government to compensate all Kenyans who suffered torture during the colonial error came as a relief to her family as they had high hopes that they would enjoy the fruits of their labour.
