Why Are Kenyans So Harassed In Their Own Country?

What I cannot understand is how Kenyans, known for the exceptional hospitality, allow foreigners to harass and intimidate them in their own country. They are even intimidated by other Africans like Somalis and Tanzanians, according to my informant in Mombasa.

I have known for many years about many parties held in homes in Karen where the only indigenous Africans around are serving drinks and the food. I know of another Kenyan company where foreigners on visitor passes work without any work permit and where the managing director (a foreigner) routinely harasses and intimidates the workers. Recently I have watched with interest as the same company has tried to set up shop in neighboring Tanzania. They have met with resounding failure because one thing about Tanzanians is that they don’t take nonsense from foreigners. Nyerere may have brought them disaster with his failed Ujamaa experiments but at least he taught them that one thing—not to take any sh** from foreigners while they are in their own country.

I sometimes think that Kenyans should be taken to Tanzania to get taught a few things about how a national of a country is supposed to behave and carry themselves around in their own country.

There are numerous stories about Kenyans who have been abused and done all sorts of things by foreigners in their own country. Remember the case of the Kenyan prostitute who was forced to have sex with a mzungu dog? By the way that is pretty common in the Nyali area of Mombasa.

In fact many foreigners who come to Kenya quickly learn how to carry themselves around with an air of superiority over locals.

Kenyan Who Died For Throwing A Stone At A Dog

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.
