DID YOU KNOW? This is the Buxton Tunnel in Kabuku, Limuru.
Populary known to the locals as ‘Kimungu kia mbugi’, it is the second longest train tunnel in Kenya. Built around the 1940s, the tunnel is estimated to be 1.7km but very few can actually go beyond 50metres into the tunnel. You can, however, locate the tiny light at the end of the tunnel.

1.7 km ni uongo.

‪Built in 1899, it was used a great deal by Indian labourers who used it to send and receive messages from India. The post office was moved to Treasury Square later in the 1940s.‬

6th May 1964 Nairobi, Kenya’s Premier Jomo Kenyatta and Ethiopia’s Emperor Haile Selassie are pictured at Nairobi Airport after the latter’s arrival for a visit.

First President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta was a very good friend of the Emperor. According to biographer Jeremy Murray-Brown in his 1972 effort, Kenyatta: A biography, the founding father kept the red, green and gold Ethiopian flag in his room at 75 Castle Road in 1931 England -a year after Haile Selassie was crowned Emperor having resisted colonization by Fascist Italy.

Kenyatta was then studying in London’s Quaker College in Woodbroke. He was so broke he toyed with the idea of being a musician, writes Murray-Brown.

Kenyatta was so fascinated with His Imperial Majesty 33 years after his stay at 75 Castle Road, he ensured the Emperor was Kenya’s first foreign dignitary invited during the Jamhuri Day celebrations in June, 1964. William Tubman, President of Liberia – the only other African country that escaped colonialism – was docked in Mombasa, at the time awaiting audience.

Kenyatta instructed that Tubman stay under “ship arrest”…until the Emperor’s state visit was over!

Funny thing is, Haile Selassie’s gifted Kenyatta a white pet dog. But alas! good old Jomo hated pets, and would have preferred nguno, the cow instead. By the way, Kenyatta made only two foreign trips in his 15-year presidency: one to England during a Commonwealth Prime Ministers’

Conference – where he was roughed up in the streets by John Tyndall, the former secretary of the British National Socialist Party, in July 1964. His last visit was to Ethiopia where fighter jets formed the name ‘JOMO’ on the sky in 1969!

While Nairobi honours Haile Selassie with an Avenue, Ethiopians weren’t so magnanimous. Marxist low-ranking rebel soldier Mengistu Haile Mariam overthrew the 81-year-old Emperor in 1974, ending his 45-year reign. His Imperial Majesty was assassinated and buried beneath a palace toilet!..(personal note: this is in dispute) where his remains were discovered in 1992.

He was properly buried at Addis Ababa’s Trinity Cathedral in 2000.
