  28. c. 1964 Land-Buying Companies and the New Elite 6 cit. To buy large former settler farms, Africans pooled money in land-buying companies and cooperatives, a model that favored those with capital, credit, and political connections. Politicians, civil servants, chiefs, and business figures, many from loyalist backgrounds, used these vehicles and their access to government to acquire prime estates. The pattern concentrated the best land in the hands of an emerging elite while ordinary members often received little or nothing. economy / politics ●●●
  29. c. 1964 Land-Buying Companies Take the Highlands 4 cit. To buy larger former settler estates, Africans pooled money in land-buying companies and cooperatives. The model could settle real families, but it favoured people who could raise capital, manage paperwork, reach ministers, and control company committees.

This was not an accident; it was the market version of political power. economy / politics ●●●●●

At a 1965 rally Kenyatta publicly mocked him, contrasting Kaggia's empty hands with the coffee and property that other former detainees had acquired, asking what Kaggia had done for himself. The episode captured the government's message that reward came from playing the new patronage game, not from championing the poor who had fought. economy / politics ●●
  61. c. 1965 Squatters and Veterans Left Landless 6 cit. Many Mau Mau veterans and former squatters, the very people whose landlessness had driven the revolt, could not afford the loans and plots and were pushed to forests, towns, and marginal land. The unresolved land question festered, feeding later squatter movements and the ethnic land conflicts of the Rift Valley. The failure to settle the fighters and the poor on the land they had fought for is central to the case that the settlement served the propertied instead. economy / society ●●●

Sessional Paper No. 10 of 1965, African Socialism and its Application to Planning in Kenya, promised political equality, social justice, and freedom from want, disease, and exploitation, the language of a welfare state.

  64. 1965 ADC is created to hold the large-farm inheritance 2 cit. The Agricultural Development Corporation was established in 1965 to help transfer land from European settlers to locals while keeping high-quality livestock and large-farm production going.

  72. c. 1966 GSU deployed against KPU opposition 1 cit. After Oginga Odinga's Kenya People's Union (KPU) broke from the ruling party, GSU and police units were used to break up KPU rallies and harass its officials, part of a pattern in which the paramilitary force served the ruling party rather than the public at large. The KPU was banned outright in 1969 following a shooting at a Kisumu rally that killed a number of civilians, an episode documented in Kenyan political histories though exact casualty figures vary by source. politics ●●
  73. c. 1966 The land goes to the elite, not the fighters 6 cit. Because the land had to be bought, the main beneficiaries are Africans who already had money and connections: civil servants, politicians, colonial-era loyalists, and home guards. Many landless squatters and Mau Mau veterans who fought for the land are left out. Scholars and Kenyan commentators have long argued that the market model settled the colonial land question in favour of a new African elite rather than the dispossessed. economy / politics / society ●●

Its creation gave Kenya, for a short time, a real opposition party. politics ●●●
  76. June 1966 The 'little general election' 1 cit. Parliament passed an amendment forcing any member who changed party to resign and seek re-election.

  78. 1966 The Myth of Mau Mau reframes the uprising as nationalism 3 cit. Carl G. Rosberg Jr. and John Nottingham published The Myth of "Mau Mau": Nationalism in Kenya, a major early challenge to the colonial line that Mau Mau was irrational savagery.

Nottingham mattered because he had been inside the colonial administration and later helped carry evidence of abuses into public view. culture / politics / society ●●●
