Kiambati wa Njora, described as the last surviving member among the 12 Mau Mau generals who led the armed struggle against British colonial rule, has died aged 106.
Family members said Kiambati passed away on Tuesday at his home in Ngorika, Ol Kalou, Nyandarua County.
His son, Maina Kiambati, said his father died of old age.
The family said the body was moved to Umash Funeral Home in Nakuru.
Kiambati was among the Mau Mau commanders whose operations were largely based in Nyandarua during the independence struggle.
In recent years, he had spoken publicly about the hardships faced by some veterans, calling attention to those living in poverty and seeking greater recognition and support for their contribution to Kenya’s liberation.
Family members said he spent time with his children and grandchildren on Saturday during a memorial service for a grandchild who died 10 years ago.
