The Betrayal of Uhuru: Land, Looting, and Kenyatta's Kenya

The source, "The Betrayal of Uhuru," details how the promise of Kenyan independence was subverted by systemic corruption and land looting immediately after 1963. Under the leadership of Jomo Kenyatta, a new elite, often referred to as the Kiambu Mafia, used the state-backed "Willing Buyer, Willing Seller" policy to acquire vast tracts of land meant for the dispossessed African population, making Kenyatta the country's largest landowner. This betrayal established a foundational legacy of inequality, impunity, and political assassinations—such as those of critics like Pio Gama Pinto and J.M. Kariuki—which continues to fuel social and ethnic conflict. The document concludes by proposing radical reforms, including progressive land taxation and judicial liberation, to achieve a "second independence" by dismantling the structure of organized theft and promoting national dignity.
