“The Mau Mau Rebellion” or “The Kimathi Rebellion”…? “The Kenya Land & Freedom Army (KLFA)” or “The Kimathi Land & Freedom Army (KLFA)”…?

Why is it that the legendary Field Marshal Dedan Kimathi appears to be the only Mau Mau warrior of the iconic Mau Mau Rebellion, honoured and paid tribute to i.e. & e.g.

1. Dedan Kimathi University of Technology, Nyeri, Kenya

2. Kimathi Street, Nairobi, Kenya

3. The Dedan Kimathi Memorial Statue, Kimathi Street, Nairobi, Kenya

4. Dedan Kimathi Avenue, Mombasa, Kenya

5. Dedan Kimathi Road, Lusaka, Zambia

How about other leading figures & icons like e.g.

(I) Field Marshal Muthoni wa Kirima

(II) Field Marshal Baimungi Marete

(III) Field Marshal Musa Mwariama

(IV) General Stanley Mathenge

(V) General ole Sangale

(VI) General Tanganyika, and in general,

(VII) “The Unknown Mau Mau Soldier”
