Jaramogi's first job as Minister for Home Affairs was to deport Ian Henderson the man who had led the onslaught against Mau Mau.

An annoyed Kenyatta then demanded to know why Odinga had expelled Henderson , "Mzee ,you gave me full powers", this man Henderson "delayed our Uhuru," Odinga replied.

On the land transfer programme that became the source of the fallout. Odinga's argument, "These people stole land from the Africans we should not compensate them and let Africans have back their land for free."

Kenyatta, "Hakuna cha watu kupewa vitu via bure." And goes on to campaign against Bildad Kaggia who was also arguing against the compensation of settlers.
My point: Jaramogi was a friend of Kikuyu peasant
