The Trial of Dedan Kimathi is a 1976 play written by Kenyan playwrights Ngugi wa Thiong’o and Mugo.
[3][4][5] Yo Kimathi is captured and the colonial authorities say they will put him on trial.
During the meeting, Kimathi is told he will be released if he pleas for his life, but he rejects the offer.
A banker in the delegation argues that Kenya's economy grew under the colonial government, which Kimathi refutes.
In his third trial, Kimathi meets with a priest, a businessman and a politician, who all tempt him to surrender.
