Preparations for the grand sensitization forum convened by a caucus for former freedom fighters and a charitable organisation are over.
The organisers of the meeting; Mau Mau War Veterans Association and Jeremiah Mugi Foundation said every has been put in place with the remaining issue being attendance.
The two groups are working closely with the Mau Mau Children Post-Colonial Elite members where they also hope to use the Sunday forum to honour the surviving veterans and their families.
The event will be held at the African Inland Church (AIC) in Kirenga area within Kiambu County.
“Organizers have invited the public to join in prayers of gratitude, specifically to thank God for the sacrifices and resilience shown by Kenya’s’ Freedom Fighters and their descendants,” said James Njuguna Mahuria, an official of the foundation.
The war veterans National coordinator Mzee Gikonyo Wa Githiga said the attendees will also discuss pressing issues concerning compensation for Mau Mau land claims and a broader recognition of their historical contributions in the fight for the country’s independence from British Colony.
They will also use the event to sensitize the public in general on various issues affecting the descendants of former freedom fighters.
Last month, the Foundation wrote to the African Union Mechanism for Public Cooperation (AFRIPOL) through the Inspector General of Police seeking clearance to hold the forum.
The letter signed by Mahuria, the National chairman of the foundation said they anticipate gathering of stakeholders, among them community leaders, public and private institutions representatives to attend the meeting.
The organizers urged those planning to attend to register in advance at the National Archives on the second floor offices along Moi Avenue in Nairobi, as part of the foundation’s efforts to ensure orderly participation and to provide accurate security and records for continued advocacy.
They also plan to engage with the National Government to resolve longstanding lands issues of Mau Mau veterans and the rights of descendants.
Prophet Paul Mwangi of Prophetic Network Ministry, who is also one of the organisers, called on the public to turn out in large numbers and hear they have in store for them.
