Its sad when somebody dies people start listening. This woman went through her divorce because she was too opinionated, the moi regime frustrated this woman calling her a mad woman. A lesson to african men, respect you women treat them as you would your mothers and sisters, We need women for mankinds survival. For women are nurturers just like this woman. We may not have the physical strength but our endurance for pain and suffering surpass men by far.
Since independence women role in national contribution have never been rightfully recognised,be it freedomfighters,mothers, akademics profesionals, its something that has been in the society and it needs to change. Personally i took it very hard when Prof. Maathai was given the post of assistant minister(aibu)Think of the role Wambui Otieno played yet her burial would be less attended to that of Atwoli(if he dies!)
death has robbed Kenya a prophet who was a stranger in her own homeland...a fighter against a corrupt society: she paid the ultimate prize for her country..for those who dared oppose her....shame on them!
Perfect Reporting John Allan! Wangair was a true legend and I am blessed to have lived during her time! God bless your work Wangari!! R.I.P untill we meet again!!
Talk of heroes and Heroines that fought in the brutal Moi KANU regime in the trenches, Wangare Maathai, Matiba, Shikuku, Rubia, Anyona, Jaramongi, Koigi, Masinde these are the icons that fought for the freedoms that Kenyans enjoy today. Shame it was Kibaki, Kalonzo, Saitoti, the ones still sitting quietly in the Moi government, the ones who couldn't get their hands dirty, the ones who have never tasted the end of a police rungu, they are the ones that took over power and never appreciated her
"A friend is a gift so rare...a treasure beyond compare" A true heroine and a friend of Kenyans and Kenya.Wangari Maathai will forever be remembered. The Kibaki administration should erect a statue in her honor at Uhuru Park's "Freedom Corner".
I cant stop watching these clips without tears welling in my eyes for someone I have never met.
Besides maybe Kip keino, dedan kimathi, theres is no other kenyan name, that truly was a HERO, for the common people. I say we uproot johnstones kamaus statue in Kicc, and put hers in freedom corner in uhuru park, where she single handedly saved the park from another nyayo house monstrosity.

If what Maathai stood for resonates with you,it is merely because you're both branches of the same tree.So honour her with more trees.

We should be ashamed as Kenyans that one of our own was respected all over the world but not at home. We should all plant trees in her memory.
