Following an expose’ done by Al Jazeera Television, it has emerged that the Kenyan Soldiers who served in World War II were not adequately compensated. Some Britons want them to be paid fully.
Britain’s opposition party has summoned the government to pay the soldiers as it did to its Britons who served in the army.
During the war in which Britain allied to other European nations fought Germany and its allies, several soldiers were drawn from British colonies and Kenya gave thousands of them.

Some of the soldiers are still alive and languishing in pain. Eusebio Mbiuki, at 100 years is one of them.
After the generals won the war for Britain, the colonizer racially discriminated the Africans in the compensation program.
In the war, the African soldiers still suffered at the hands of their British bulldozers who molested them in the war camps.
