	Tom Mboya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tom Joseph Odhiambo Mboya (August 15, 1930 - July 5, 1969) was a Kenyan politician during Jomo Kenyatta's government.
		Mboya was assassinated on July 5, 1969 in Nairobi.
		Mboya's political life started immediately after he was employed at Nairobi City Council as a sanitary inspector in 1950.

	Tom Mboya :: Biography
		Tom Mboya was born on April 15, 1930 in Kilimanbogo on a Sisal Estate near Thika town in what was called the 'White Highlands' of Kenya.
		Tom Mboya joined active politics in 1957, when he successfully contested and won a seat in the then colonial Legislative Council and later in 1958, founded the Nairobi People's Congress Party, which became one of the strongest parties in Kenya in the late 1950's.
		Tom Mboya was gunned down outside a pharmacy on a Nairobi street on 5th July 1969, which to many observers was seen to be the result of ethnic tensions (between the predominant Gikuyu and Luo tribes) that had gripped the nation and become a common phenomenon in post independent Kenya.

	AfricanTribute
		The rise of Tom Mboya, as is the case with most other key players in Kenya's independence struggle can be traced to the declaration of a state of emergency in 1952 by the British colonial government in Kenya.
		Mboya and other Pan-Africanists believed that the borders as they existed in Africa were European creations, and that Africans needed to do away with them after kicking out the colonialists.
		Tom Mboya's story is a very sad one for a lot of Kenyans and indeed Africans, but particularly so, among his Luo community who saw their presidential ambitions washed away with his assasination.

	Special Reports \| Tom Mboya’s response to the plot
		When Tom Mboya stood up in Parliament to lecture his colleagues on what was happening at the Lumumba Institute, most of them were shocked.
		Mboya said the "original idea" was not of an institute that was a showcase for one group or ideology; after all "it would not be possible to judge the full worth of the institute until its pupils graduated".
		Mboya was annoyed that students at the institute had even started to write leaflets criticising members of the Cabinet.

		Born in Kilima Mbogo, outside of Nairobi, Mboya was a member of Kenya's second largest tribe, the Luo.
		Secretary general of the Kenya African National Union (1960-1969), he was a close ally of President Jomo Kenyatta and held cabinet posts before and after independence in 1963.
		Mboya was the major spokesman for Luo interests in a Kikuyu-dominated government and one of Africa's most respected political figures.

	Mboya’s legacy lives on
		When Tom Joseph Mboya was shot along the present-day Moi Avenue in Nairobi one Saturday afternoon 36 years ago, the country went into mourning.
		Mboya was a charismatic leader who charmed everyone he came into contact with.
		At the time Mboya was involved in the labour movement, where he worked with Odaga’s brother-in-law, Dennis Akumu.

	Tom Mboya :: Hero
		Mboya was killed partly because he was perceived to be a truly outstanding candidate for the Presidency when the time was ripe.
		Kenyatta as a martyr in prison, Dedan Kimathi as a warrior in the forest and Mboya as the eloquent voice of freedom and as a political organiser.
		In addition to having the faces of Mboya, Mandela, Lumumba, Biko and Kenyatta on currencies and postage stamps, there should be a whole section of our National Museums of Kenya and South Africa devoted to the struggle against apartheid or for independence.

		Mboya attended a conference called by the Phelps-Stokes Fund in New York of some 50 representatives of organizations concerned with higher education in east and central Africa.
		Mboya described the great opportunity of filling over 200 scholarships for Africans which was about to be lost because of lack of transportation.
		Mboya told Jack that there was a million dollars worth of scholarships awaiting students of Kenya in the United States, but that Mboya did not have the money to transport these students to the United States.

		Mboya’s greatest undoing and the reason why he was viewed as such a huge threat to internal security was the fact that he was very friendly with the Americans.
		Mboya as I have said was a Mugumo tree and the government may have wanted reassurances that incase of any serious backlash, they could count on the support of the British.
		Here it is interesting to note that during Mboya’s funeral President Kenyatta was visibly so shaken (there was rioting going on outside, that was ho popular Mboya was) that he was unable to read the eulogy.

		A constitution leading to independence was put in place, and the Kenyan African National Union (KANU), led by Oginga Odinga, Tom Mboya, and Daniel arap Moi, became the leading party.
		Moi, however, left KANU to form the Kenyan African Democratic Union (KADU), a party to represent smaller Kenyan ethnic groups distinct from the large Luo and Kikuyu blocs that supported KANU.
		Kenyan labor leader and politician Tom Mboya was assassinated; this fueled ethnic conflict as Mboya, a Luo, had been killed by a Kikuyu.

		Lumumba was a proponent of Pan-Africanism, and thus shared a close relationship with Nkrumah and Tom Mboya, other avowed Pan-Africanists.
		The same could be argued about Kenya's Tom Mboya, who died in 1969, just 6 years after Kenya gained independence.
		I believe the Lumumba and Mboya stories, apart from their heroic contents, should serve as reminders to us Africans, that we need to carefully re-examine some of the destructive politics that we have become so accustomed to.

		Talking darkly of plans to push ahead with his new party in legally disguised forms, Tom Mboya cut to the heart of the issue with the question: Why was it only Africans who were prohibited from organizing on a colony-wide basis?

		What the rescue team didn't know as they watched Tom Mboya's life slip away was that this marvelous device had been recalled from the American market by the U.S. government because it was found to be totally ineffective.
		Losing Mboya to the Res-Q-Aire was perhaps a subtle retribution for the U.S., for to this day we allow our business leaders to sell, mostly to Third World nations, shiploads of defective medical devices, lethal drugs, known carcinogens, toxic pesticides, contaminated foods and other products found unfit for American consumption.
		Ten years after Mboya's assassination, in fact, Kenya itself remains a major market for unsafe, ineffective and contaminated American products.
