Everybody is excited. Everyone has expectations from the new uhuru government Kenyatta is now the President. And he has to deal with groups of people who want to be given priority in the allocation of the national cake, whether they fought for independence or not. Like jiggers, they itch and irritate. They are Kenyatta's jiggers.
In his characteristic humour and poignant wit, Charles Mangua relives the years of the Mau Mau freedom struggle, and eloquently projects the social stigma that afflicted the natives caught in between the "liberation" forces and the colonial administration. Using two orphans (courtesy of this war), he tells a tale of two immense loyalties: of those who took up arms against the colonial government, and of those who collaborated with the white man. For what gain?
