CANCEL THE PRESSURE by Mary Kihagi
Unfounded societal pressures especially in the African setting have caused a lot of people to derail from their dreams and the very things that bring them happiness. Even more unfortunately, this pressure has dissuaded some people from their purpose, and they've ended up living a life of others.
I am also strongly persuading that societal pressure is a key cause of the increasing number of depressed people and subsequent loss of life due to high unrealistic expectations, yet the environment is seldom in favor of these expectations.
I have gone through this same pressure, and this pushed me to interrogate the viability of some of the nuances and ultimately, after some consultation with subject matter experts featured in some of the stories herein, I am convinced that these pressures are unnecessary. I hope this book frees you up from the chains of societal redundancy.
The Price of Freedom Achieng Oneko: T...
Ramogi Achieng’ Oneko’s public life is a story of resilience and courage, as well as sacrifice and betrayal, in the pursuit of the State that Kenyans have yearned for. Oneko was among the most consequential figures in the struggle for Kenya’s independence in the 1950s and in the early 1960s, collectively known as the Kapenguria Six, after the sham trial they endured in Kapenguria, northwestern Kenya, following their arrest on 20 October 1952. Also arrested alongside Oneko by the British colonial authorities in the Kenya Colony were Jomo Kenyatta, Paul Ngei, Bildad Kaggia, Kung’u Karumba, and Fred Kubai.
This book is a narrative of Oneko’s heroic life and times, largely as told by himself, and also carefully reconstructed from notes he left behind at the time of his death in 2007. It also draws from other historical sources and authorities, including primary source eye-witness accounts, to give a powerful eye–opener to the true story of the elusive quest for a Kenyan nation.
The narrative explores key debates surrounding land, nationalism, governance, and post-independence state formation. Through Oneko’s reflections, you get to gain insight into the aspirations and tensions that accompanied the transition from colonial rule to self-government.
This volume is an invaluable addition to the repository of the Kenyan narrative, for anyone interested in the country’s true story.

KIMULWON – the 630 life story b...
At 10 p.m. on July 11, 2022, a deafening explosion on Langata Road echoed through the air as a car somersaulted over the tarmac, careening through three different roads before coming to a rest, an overturned wreck. Kimulwon Chesaina’s life ended abruptly, leaving a trail of mourning hearts in its wake. What were the events that led to this calamitous incident? Who was Kimulwon, beyond the headlines and the accident report? What were the triumphs and tribulations that defined his forty-eight-year existence? In this unvarnished narrative, meticulously documented by his sole brother, we journey through the intricate tapestry of Kimulwon's life.
We delve into themes ranging from a historical connection with the formidable Moi family, to the scars of childhood trauma, the dynamics of political patronage, the complexities of love and separation, the battle for mental well-being, the shackles of generational patterns, the trials and triumphs of entrepreneurship, the call to public service, and the quintessence of ‘I went to Alliance’.
This compelling account lifts the veil on a life that was both celebrated and challenged and will leave an indelible imprint on the hearts and minds of those who immerse themselves in this must-read narrative.

Not yet Uhuru by Jaramogi Oginga Odinga
Not Yet Uhuru gives a vivid and authoritative account of the history of Kenya. In this autobiography, the author counters the Imperial British propaganda machine to distort the history of a nation. From the perspective of a man who was at the centre of the liberation struggle and the making of a new nation, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga deconstructs the fallacious and sloppy historical narratives peddled by propagandists, which are deliberately tailored to vilify the true national heroes and exalt villains.
In this seminal literary work, Jaramogi lets his betrayal by Jomo Kenyatta off his chest. He lays bare his frustration with Kenyatta’s turn against fellow Kapenguria six members such as Bildad Kaggia into his primary casualties and enemies. Jaramogi accuses Kenyatta of becoming an Imperial Master stooge and thus justifies his decision to break ranks with the Kenyatta regime. In light of the nationalism spirit, vision, and mission, Jaramogi considered Kenyatta’s change of heart an unforgivable grand betrayal. Not Yet Uhuru is not an ordinary autobiography.
It is Jaramogi’s historical gift to Kenyans, Africa in general, and historians the world over. This book is filled with prophetic anecdotes and laden with premonitions, which can stir us from our self-induced political stupor. Not Yet Uhuru demystifies the Kenyatta and Odinga families’ political feud, which has played out for over five decades. This book will help you understand why the sons of the two founding fathers of Kenyan continue to strive to outwit each other in the political arena.

THE SILENT TRAILBLAZER: Benaiah Apolo...
The Silent Trailblazer: Benaiah Apolo Ohanga, OGW
Some heroes shape history from the frontlines. Others build a nation quietly, steadily, and almost unseen. The Silent Trailblazer brings to light the remarkable life of Benaiah Apolo Ohanga (BAO), Kenya’s first African Cabinet Minister and one of the country’s least celebrated yet most consequential public servants.
An educationist, trade unionist, theologian, linguist, underground journalist, and institution builder, Ohanga lived at the centre of Kenya’s transition from colonial rule to self-government. Nominated to the Legislative Council in 1947 as only the second African member, he later served from 1954 to 1957 as Cabinet Minister for Community Development, Approved Schools, Prisons, Probation, Sports, and African Affairs.
Working within a difficult colonial system, Ohanga used his position to secure practical gains for Africans while mentoring a generation of leaders who would shape independent Kenya. A towering Luo scholar, remembered for his imposing height and distinctive traditional appearance, he taught future national figures including Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Achieng’ Oneko.
His influence reached far beyond politics. Through the East Africa Language Committee, he contributed to linguistic and cultural mapping that helped lay foundations for modern national survey work. As Secretary of the Kenya Overseas Scholarship Advisory Committee from 1958 to 1972, he helped open doors for more than 120 young Kenyans—many of whom became Presidents, Vice Presidents, Cabinet Ministers, senior public officials, academics, doctors, lawyers, and lawmakers.
This biography also reveals the man behind the public record: a devoted husband to Mama Turphosa Margaret Okinyo (Nya Gem), a father of ten, a farmer, businessman, church minister, editor of Maseno Magazine, and advocate for children with special needs. His story intersects with major figures such as Daniel arap Moi, Tom Mboya, and Mwai Kibaki, offering readers a fresh window into Kenya’s political and social history.
Yet despite a lifetime of service, Ohanga faded into relative historical silence and was denied even a modest pension long withheld by the State. Drawing on rare personal archives, Olivetti-typed letters, family records, clan oral histories, and state documents, The Silent Trailblazer restores a forgotten pioneer to his rightful place in Kenya’s national memory.
Compelling, deeply researched, and rich with untold history, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in Kenya’s independence journey, African leadership, education, public service, and the quiet men and women whose sacrifices built the nation. The Silent Trailblazer reminds us that not every nation-builder stood in the spotlight—some changed history through courage, intellect, faith, and steady service.
Ideal for readers of Kenyan history, biographies, African leadership, public service, education, and untold stories of nation-building.
