How Fitz de Souza became a Maker of the Nation in Kenya

How Fitz de Souza became a “Maker of the Nation” in Kenya The life of a lawyer and MP who helped secure Kenyan independence still contains lessons for today. After Kenyan independence, Busy Delamere Avenue was renamed Kenyatta Avenue When Fitz de Souza walked into the courtroom in Kapenguria in 1953, the verdict of the trial had already been decided. The 23-year-old lawyer’s six clients faced charges of organising a secret society with the aim of overthrowing British rule in Kenya. The judge had been paid by the government to ensure the outcome and the trial was taking place in a remote town, far away from public and press scrutiny. When the sentence was handed down the judge gave the “Kapenguria Six” the maximum penalty of seven years hard labour. Four of the men would go on to become MPs and one, Jomo Kenyatta, to become president of an independent Kenya.

This city church was for Goans only

This city church was for Goans only 3 years ago The renaming of Parklands Secondary School to Dr Ribeiro Parklands School in 2015 was to pay homage to an Indian Goan who not only donated the land on which it sits, but also as a salute to his community’s contribution in Kenya. Goans, unlike other Asians, did not come to Kenya to build the Uganda Railway. Most came as doctors, lawyers, accountants, clerks and businessmen, as Cyprian Fernandes informs us in his 2016 offering, Yesterday in Paradise. He reveals that others came as chefs, tailors, carpenters, mechanics and musicians. Dr Rosendo Ayres Ribeiro, was the first private medical practitioner in 1899. He is famous for visiting patients atop a zebra, which was more disease resistant than the traditional horse. Dr Ribeiro operated under a tent in the muddy tin shack that was Nairobi where he invented a malaria drug which was patented and sold to an international pharmaceutical.
