Super CS Fred Matiang’i rubbishes claims that Dedan Kimathi’s grave has been found

Interior Ministry has denounced Friday’s media reports that the government had located the grave of freedom fighter Dedan Kimathi.

“Our attention has been drawn to news on some platforms that the grave of our freedom fighter Field Marshal Dedan Kimathi has been found at Kamiti Prison.

Please note these claims are false; such info will be relayed to the public only via our official communication channels” the Interior Ministry said.

Dedan was  the senior military and spiritual leader of the Mau Mau Uprising.

He led the armed military struggle against the British colonial regime in Kenya in the 1950s until his capture and execution in 1957.

The colonial government never informed his family where he was buried prompting a fruitless search to date.
