I met Mboya when I was ten years old, he was our representative in the part of Nairobi where we lived, but I never really got to know just how special he was because I was too young. As I now learn from these historical clips, I realize how fortunate I am to have personally met him. Mboya belonged to a special caliber of gifted,intelligent , articulate and profound thinkers who are extremely rare in the Kenya of today. The elimination of such individuals in Kenya's short history has landed the country to its present deplorable state.
Alikua anakaa aje personally
Thomas Joseph Odhiambo Mboya died at 39, but he accomplished more than some who live past 93 years. He died young, but certainly lived full and powerfully. His life, focus and wisdom inspires me.
🤣🤣si useme tu m 01
after his assassination, someone said it would take Kenya 1000yrs to have such a leader. Almost now 50yrs have passed. 950yrs to go. We are still counting...
Felix Shivanda 100 not 1000.. It was the then speaker of national assembly who was british
Yahye Donfodio
The Speaker's name was Mr. Humphrey Slade.
We don't need leaders, or one man leaders. we make it easy for The enemy to see where The power is, better make everyone own leader with same goal and The enemy Will not have defense against that
Ndo mimi uku
Wa wa wa....long way to go
Long live Tom Mboya ...This days kenyan laws are constituted by musician's,footballers and comedians while intellectuals are sidelined...what a shame
This man was so eloquent and spot on when articulating key issues like colonialism
Just listen to the orator, God will always be with this man.
This guy was bright and very intelligent, we will miss him so much.
it sad how the REAL ONES never get the recognition they deserve
We will never see such people again. They didn't have social media but knew a lot. Now we have everything but seem to know nothing in particular.
You are absolutely right bro
Described as the ultimate economic manager, policy maker per excellence, the most respected thinker in the history of independent Africa- his Sessional paper No. 10 of 1965 was considered a masterpiece, the best ever conceived by an African towards economic growth. Seems like the only person Kenya killed and cannot replace- the man Kenya will never forget- The guy had the ability- or so it seems- to drive Kenya's economy beyond that of even South Africa and Nigeria which are largest in Africa.....sadly we killed him at only 39
I ain't a luo but this dude mehn talks like he wasn't born here in kenya ,,his English accent is more sweet and fluent than the britain man..long live 1st kenya's most learned and intelligent man Tom mboya 4life
Mboya could have made the best President. Its funny how he and Kibaki were great friends and actually institutionalized the economic model that shaped Kenya in early 1960s.
they should have given this guy a chance
Miguna said it
Once u have brains
U are a big enemy
There is nobody who can take wisdom from you
Unless they kill u or
Dead
was very eloquent indeed..
This man was just a miracle
Man never brainstormed before answering questions...A for AMAZING
The man was phenomenon.
He was so eloquent.
He was uncircumcised....
Remember
@@washingtonochieng4881 Awoshi you spitting fire 🔥
Tom was highly intelligent.
Iuos I salute you
Very eloquent
Respect. Can still be very relevant in today's government.
Tom Mboya was a very bright, astute and articulate.
Actually he was a genius
He will be greatly missed by Kenyans
may he rest in peace
Astonishing eloquence and grasp of facts. I can see why they gt him killed
Tom Mboya was a man of immense greatness and who can not be compared to no other. I was unfortunate to have not seen him but I have a lot of resources about him, may God rest his soul in eternal peace
This dude was bright
VISIONARY LEADER..
Brilliant mind
Yes dear
The legendary Tom Mboya, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, Mathias Garvey were all time travellers from the outer space and not from this world.
Mucus Garvey
A very eloquent and well-informed young man Mboya was. Too sad that the enemies of equality, unity, justice, and development robbed us an opportunity to witness his vision. He will forever remain in Africa's great book of leaders together with Patrice Lumumba and many others. God bless Kenya, Congo, and the African continent
Brilliant man. What a shame.
Kenyans in the past really had a nice accent!
That is my Tommy
at his tender age he was representing AFRICA and was well informed
Am shocked.. His English is better than mine..and am at campus
Even better than the accent of university professors. And he could match any university professor from any university in the world on literally any socio-economic and political issues of the day. And all he had was a honorary degree! He was naturally brilliant.
Brilliant ! A great loss for Africa.
I love Mboya. Very pan-Africanist
Son of the soil. With this man heading Kenya and Lumumba heading DRC, the West would be eating our dust.
Mboya was pro-West. The difference was that unlike most hot headed politicians of those days he was able to think through issues more clearly than his colleagues and appearing as highly pragmatic. Being pro-West was not his primary concern, even though his line of thinking strongly coincided with socio-economic models of the West.
such a think tank
Well, bright minds were not needed then, only Kenyatta's sycophants
TOM MBOYA TIBIM !!! TOM MBOYA TIALALA!! TOM RRRIIIIIIIII....NASA HAOOOII
Don't associate Tom Mboya with Babu Owino's mediocrity and hoodwinking tactics.
Continues rip osiepa
LUO NATION MALO!
And his choice of words weeeh!
Intelligent man
The best of africa son
We don't get to see this kind of articulate leaders in the recent government.
next will be Isaac Situma.....
He should have been Kenya's first president
It wasn't possible
True.
Went too soon
Wamalwa Kijana gone, Mboya gone...God have mercy on Luhyas
Let me ask you something my fellow Kenyans, did you know that if it was not this dude there could not be baraka Obama of america....?..... guess why.
Airlift program
they killed the quiet and articulate ones wakatuachia watu wa kelele na ma wheelbarrow ntk😠
Those imperialists he mentioned here were responsible for his assassination. Tshombe was indeed a crook.
Stop hiding behind some nameless imperialists to provide cover for Mboya's assassin's. Mboya was assassinated by Jomo Kenyatta's inner circle who saw him as a threat to their interests. The man who fired the bullets when asked why he killed Mboya stated, "why don't you ask the big man?" There could have been a few big men even in those days, but there was only one The Big Man. That was Jomo Kenyatta. The truth is stubborn and it will keep on knocking until the door is opened and it is heard.
@@georgeodhiambo598 but I have never understood how kenyatta stood to gain, there are other deaths we may blame Kenyatta but this one and pio gana pinto was linked to something more international like the movements in America with Luther.
@@muturiamugambi8075kenyatta and his tribe men conspired to elimonate him
@@muturiamugambi8075 It is a common trend among leaders of questionable capabilities. You may recall Hitler's Night of Long Knives, do you? Among the people he killed in an orgy were his loyal allies with whom he had jointly risen to power. Even Nyerere developed some major issues with Kambona and the latter had to flee.Mboya was among the independence leaders who had demonstrated ability to create their power bases outside Kenyatta's influence. That should be an asset but it turns into a threat particularly if the one in power is less gifted. There was nothing international about their deaths. They died as a result of local power struggles. The first to go was Pinto who was a key player in Jaramogi's scheme of things. Next to be sidelined was Jaramogi, and ostensibly, Mboya was among the people who orchestrated it. Kenyatta was pulling the strings. With Jaramogi sidelined, Mboya became the target. First attempt on his life was in 1967, when his security guard at home opened fire on his vehicle. Then of course came 1969 and he was assassinated. It didn't end there. Ngala was next in 1972. And Argwings K'Odhek gad already been dispatched on February 1969. But even with all that, the vampires in Kenyatta regime were not satisfied. Six years after Mboya, JM was assassinated in one of the most macabre killings in Kenya''s post independence history.
kenyan government is always angry with learned people full of wisdom who are there help the poor
This is the speech that killed him. Oh Africa!
Far from it. This speech was made before independence. Mboya was killed a decade or so later. Mboya's death had nothing to do with the East/West tensions. It was due to local political struggles and the foundation for it is very well set out in David Goldsworthy's book titled, Tom Mboya: The Man Kenya Wanted to Forget. Kenyatta was the mastermind of Mboya's killing. And Mboya was not the only one of his victims. Pio Game Pinto was his first victim. There are suspicions that Argwings K'Odhek was next in February 1969. Mboya followed in June 1969. It was and is still loudly whispered that Ngala was his next victim in 1972. JM closed the chapter of his victims in 1975.
Le me remind George Odhiamb that his facts are not right for Mboya died in July and not June
@@isaiahagade4846 Thanks for that minor correction. Yes, July 1969 it was.
