Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday morning unveiled the statue of Kenyan independence hero, pan-Africanist and former Cabinet Minister, the late Ronald Gideon Ngala on Ronald Ngala Street at Nairobi\u2019s downtown.<\/p>\n

The Head of State was accompanied by Sports CS Amina Mohamed and Head of Public Service Dr Joseph Kinyua among other senior Government officials.<\/p>\n

Also present was the family of the late political supremo, celebrated for ‘majimboism’, a precursor of modern-day devolution, led by his son and former long-serving Cabinet Minister, Hon Noah Katana Ngala.<\/p>\n

Ngala was a member of the political group of the African educated elite, who established a new political tradition in Kenya’s nationalist struggle to counter imperialism and colonialism.<\/p>\n

This resulted in creating the right conditions within which independence was handed over to the African majority.<\/p>\n

Ngala was also elected leader of the Kenya African Democratic Union (KADU) at a meeting of leaders of small parties, which represented the minority tribes, in Ngong on 25 June 1960.<\/p>\n

Ronald Ngala was made Minister of Cooperatives and Social Services in the Kenyatta government where he remained active in politics until he died in a road accident in 1972.<\/p>\n

He left behind his wife Esther Ngala and several children including Noah Katana Ngala.<\/p>\n
