		Dedan Kimathi was the leader of the Land and Freedom Army in the 1950s, the military wing of what is now called the Mau Mau movement against colonial rule in Kenya.
		To many Kenyans, Kimathi was a nationalist hero, a simple man who led the poor in an uprising for their freedom, land and dignity as Africans against the world's most powerful empire.
		To others, however, Kimathi and the other Mau Mau fighters were Gikuyu tribal terrorists intent on destroying the imperial order that had brought education, roads, modern medicine and other institutions of Western culture to a land that was totally "uncivilised" before their arrival.

		The essence of the Kimathi statue is not to seek immediate political applause, but to ensure that Kenyans don't forget the pains that their predecessors bore so that the country may be free.
		Kenneth Watene's play Dedan Kimathi, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o and Micere Mugo's The Trial of Dedan Kimathi and the whole corpus of the Mau Mau subgenre, have for instance used the figure of Kimathi in various reincarnations to structure their narratives.
