For all that went on in the 60s with corruption and Land-Grabbing in Kenya,I know that Mr,Mckenzie was as honest as one could be given the very dangerous situations he could sometimes find himself in.He was not liked by the colonial civil servants they complained about him on many occasions,plus he was viewd with suspicion by fellow M.Ps. He got things done,in a Kenyatta goverment that was literally comotised by their own power and greed.He also played a big part in the rescue of the hostages held by Amin, in the Entebbe-Raid by Israely troops.As you probably know he was later to lose his life for the help and expertise he gave to this mission.He was also Decorated twice fighting the Nazis,he was not one to turn away in the face of adversity.I am proud to have known him. Kind Regards Frank Baugh.

and guess what the Mau Mau was right there in the Top 10. What you are writing here turns my stomach more than I can handle. All these are a part of “scorched earth” policies, a consistent pattern in occupied lands.
