Today I boldly declare that I neither regret nor regret my own experiences in the struggle for a liberated Kenya. I proudly bear my physical and psychological scars. That's because my country was worth it then; it's worth it now.Take the scars of liberation with pride and embrace blood, sweat and tears that cost me.I pay tribute to those who went before us, the fallen heroes of the Second Liberation, including Kenneth Matiba and Charles Rubia. Many do not remember that on the same day, on December 5th, I was detained in Kamiti Highest Prison with two compatriots. July 1990 for the multiparty demand.
