Muthamaki Waiyaki wa Hinga

This story is long over-due. It is a sad commentary on our society's treatment of its heroes and heroines that this story has remained untold for so long. For that long, the life and exploits of Muthamaki Waiyaki wa Hinga, who belongs in the foremost ranks of our freedom fighters and liberators, have remained unrecorded and uncelebrated. As this story lay untold, and the stalwarts of our liberation remained unappreciated, the oppressors of yesteryear have been hard at work, engaged in distortion and revisionism. This book sets out to break the silence, remedy the default, reinstate the true narrative and restore the honour and glory that rightfully belong to our martyrs and liberators.

About the Author

Njoroge Regeru is a lawyer engaged in private legal practice. At the urging of his kinfolk, Mr. Regeru donned a new hat and undertook the audacious and ambitious project of tracing the roots of the Hinga lineage to which he belongs and in the process, telling the untold story of that indomitable pioneer of the freedom struggle, Muthamaki Waiyaki wa Hinga. The result is this book which at once represents the first documented history of the Hinga lineage and at the same time records and celebrates the valour and sacrifices of those gallant sons and daughters of our land who bartered their lives in exchange for our freedom and dignity.
