Kenyan Who Died For Throwing A Stone At A Dog

archive

Today’s posts I dedicate to the memory of a young Kenyan who never lived to see independence. His name was Kamame Musunge and this is his story.

Kamame worked for a mzungu somewhere in the Karen area. One day in 1960, he was going home from work when a dog came rushing towards him and loudly barked at him from the other side of the fence. He picked up a stone and threw it at the dog. He then walked on, the whole incident forgotten.

What he did not know is that the owner of the dog had observed him from the house. The man Peter Harold Poole, went into his house and picked up his revolver. He rushed outside his gate and called Kamame Musunge. The terrified local obeyed and came to the mzungu who shot him dead.

That would have been the end of the matter as had been the case so many times before. But a wind of change was blowing across Africa and Kenya. The case reached court and Poole was charged with murder and convicted to hang for the murder. Many attempts and appeals were made to have the sentence reversed or at least reduced to life imprisonment. Mercifully they didn’t work and Poole became the first White man to be hanged in colonial Kenya. Three years later Kenya attained her independence but there is so much that did not change.
