Rawson Macharia
Rawson Mbugua Macharia (b. 1911, d. 5 December 2008, aged 96〔The Standard, 11 December 2008: (Curtain comes down on man who lied against Kenyatta )〕) was the key prosecution witness at the trial of the Kapenguria Six, who included Jomo Kenyatta.
Kenyatta and the others were Kenyan nationalists jailed for managing Mau Mau.
==Testimony==
The six defendants, Kenyatta, Bildad Kaggia, Kung'u Karumba, Fred Kubai, Paul Ngei and Achieng Oneko were arrested in 1952, and tried in 1952–53 for the offence of managing Mau Mau, then a proscribed society.
Macharia testified at this trail that in March 1950, he had taken one of the Mau Mau oaths at Kenyatta's hands. He further claimed that the oath-taking involved stripping naked and drinking human blood.〔See p. 1 of ''The Roots of the Fig Tree''〕 Macharia's submissions were the only evidence of a direct link between Kenyatta and Mau Mau produced before the court. Mau Mau was proscribed in August 1950, so, even had the claims been true, it is unclear that they proved Kenyatta's membership, let alone management, of a proscribed organisation.
