Kenyatta Caves : Where Kapenguria 6, freedom fighters hid for 4 years
Exactly 54 years ago,Kenya gained her independence, and became a sovereign state.
However, the road to independence was not a walk in the park as thousands of Kenyans put their lives on the line, with several liberation fighters forced to pay the ultimate price in the struggle against white minority rule.
Our reporter Shukri Wachu travelled to Wundanyi deep in the lush green hills of Taita Taveta county, where Kenya's founding president, the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and other members of the famous Kapenguria six were forced to seek refuge as they pushed for the country's independence.
Poor State Of Kapenguria 6 Houses
Kenyatta house in Lodwar is one of the landmarks of Kenya’s struggle against British colonialism. In this house, constructed in 1958, served as a detention camp for five of the Kapenguria Six - Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Achieng Oneko, Kung'u Karumba, Paul Ngei and Fred Kubai- who were serving their sentence in Lokitaung prison. To preserve this history the government converted the house into a museum. As kenya celebrates her heroes and heroines Michael Njenga tells us how Kenyatta house museum is in a sorry state.
Adventures in West Pokot in a day.
We went to the kapenguria museum first.
Second stop was the Kapenguria hospital, to see how much its improved in general from 10 years ago.
We went into Makutano, to get some food to go picnic at a beautiful view point.
Then went to my cousins grandma's place to plant palm seeds and im not sure how many will sprout.
Thanks guys/ fellow adventurers for an unforgettable time.

Gov't Wants Mau Mau Case Out of Court
The Kenyan government is now pushing for an out-of-court settlement in the case in which three ex-Mau Mau fighters have sued the British government for compensation. Justice Minister Eugene Wamalwa said Kenya was keen on negotiating a welfare scheme to help the elderly Kenyans who fought for the country's independence during which they were tortured by the then colonial masters. Last week a high court in London allowed a case filed by 3 Kenyan freedom fighters to proceed to full trial. Sally Mbilu reports.
