Pio Gama Pinto, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Bildad Kaggia were among a postcolonial crop of leaders who were in disagreement with Jomo Kenyatta and the emerging comprador elite on land distribution, development priorities and the issues of corruption and cronyism within Kenyatta’s administration. All three espoused socialism as a more equitable system in rejection of the capitalism that was advocated by Kenyatta and friends, even as it was thinly veiled as “African socialism”. They held that true liberation of Kenyans could not be achieved under a system that was perpetuating inequality and ignoring the country’s first liberation heroes barely a decade after it acquired self-rule. The three books written by these men explain this conviction; that the country was yet to be liberated, that uhuru (freedom) had not yet been achieved for all.
