    "Not yet Uhuru" means the indipendence fought for by the kenyan people had not been achieved. It comes from a title of a book written by the first vice-president of Kenya, The late Oginga Odinga, who observed that despite the country's decleared independence, the government led by blacks were as opressive as the colonoal government. More to this was that the people's economic conditons begun to deteroriate instead of improve by the dawn of the country's freedom. To him and to many who agreed with him, freedom was not a matter of a few black men rulling over the rest of the citizens but was to be claimed when everyone living within the borders of kenya could enjoy equal rights and privillages.

    As you would expect, he was imprisoned by his colleagues in the government he helped found and led simply because he refused to turn his back to the masses.
