According to Lawyer George Kegoro, the action was to create room for the gallery of former Kenya`s Second President Daniel Arap Moi.
The late Moi died on February 4, 2020, after a long illness, and the former Director of the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) provided images of the newly created gallery of Moi.
“This is the Moi Gallery at the Kenya National Archives. It depicts Moi as a nationalist, a statesman, and a family man. A photo with younger versions of Gideon, Raymond, Jonathan is striking. The Moi Gallery is recent,” said Kegoro.
“To make way for Moi, the Tom Mboya Gallery was removed.” He added on his Twitter account.
However, Mboya was one of the Republic of Kenya's founding fathers. At the Lancaster House Conferences, he oversaw the independence negotiations and was key in the founding of Kenya's independence party, the Kenya African National Union (KANU). He was the first Secretary-General of KANU.
Alan Donovan had put up the Tom Mboya Gallery, working with the Mboya family. It is unclear why a decision was made to remove the Mboya pictures. https://t.co/1X6n6IUGdc
