Unveiling Kenya's Hidden History

On a chilly morning in 1969, nestled among the hills of Githunguri, a group of men stood bare, stripped of their titles, as elders administered a clandestine oath. The air was thick with the metallic scent of fresh goat blood as participants consumed raw intestines, binding themselves to a vow that would profoundly alter Kenya's political and social landscape for generations to come.

The Oath Of 1969 Must Break: For Kenya To Be Free is a bold and groundbreaking work of investigative storytelling by Giciriri wa Mugo (an Agikuyu Elder) and Dan Ochogo Oronje (a Jaluo Jatelo). These two Nairobi-born writers share an unyielding quest for truth. Drawing from years of painstaking research and deeply personal interviews, this book:

- Reveals how traditional Agikuyu rites were twisted into political weapons post-independence.

- Documents the far-reaching ramifications on families, marriages, and national elections.

- Amplifies the voices of those silenced over decades, from oath-takers burdened by regret to women systematically pushed out of power.

- Traces the colonial roots of division, unveiling how British "divide and rule" tactics corrupted indigenous systems.

"We have both witnessed how secret oaths—like the one sworn that fateful morning—have dictated the fate and divisions of our nation for generations. This book is our earnest endeavor to understand, confront, and heal that legacy." — The Authors.
