Swearing by Kenya: The Unfolding of a New Constitution

KShs3,480.00

Swearing by Kenya brings forth the virtues and vices, the far-reaching vision and narrow viewpoints, the truth, and lies, the struggles and defeats, that guided prominent men and women in what may be considered, so far, the most dramatic and exciting chapter of independent Kenya. This book is bound to stir some, annoy a few and make others rejoice; only the unthinking reader will remain untouched. Lumumba has managed to pen down historical and verifiable facts without judging or attacking the sacrosanct realm of the personal internal forum of the persons involved.
