April 1985 Oginga Odinga Original Sin Vice President
April 1985 Oginga Odinga Original Sin Vice President of KANU, Oginga, argues for the existing party constitution, and his post as sole Vice-President. Kenya had gained independence, but there was discontent within government ranks. Oginga Odinga, then one of the most controversial figures, wrote about the period for Drum. As the Union Jack came down and replaced by the flag of the new Kenya, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta made historical Harambee call. We knew that we had passed the first hurdle. But to me, and many other nationalists, the lowering of the flag was not the culmination of our struggle. (Photograph by Aziz A. Islam Reserved) 1985
