In 2015, a monument honouring the Mau Mau was erected at Freedom Corner in Uhuru Park, Nairobi. Many surviving Mau Mau freedom fighters attended, many traveling by matatu from upcountry, some arriving as early as 6am to await the opening ceremony. This honour is well-deserved, but as these elders—many still impoverished—sat beneath the hot sun as NGOs and Kenyan dignitaries enjoyed the shade of a large white tent, the question that looms is this: did the Mau Mau get what they fought for? And what is it that they fought for? Land and Freedom. Pio Gama Pinto said, "If when we have achieved independence, we only have black Lord Delameres instead of white Lord Delameres, we will have achieved very little." He understood that, since land was at the heart of the colonial project, then taking back land would be the key to decolonization, to liberation.
