Joseph Murumbi

For fourteen years, Kenya-born Joseph Murumbi worked tirelessly for his people and his country. Many of those years, the years in which Kenya fought for freedom from colonial rule, he spent as a political exile in London and elsewhere, endlessly addressing groups, meeting people and lecturing, in order to explain the political ambitions of his people. Later, after independence had been won, he played a vital role in Government, First as Minister of State, later as Foreign Minister, and finally as his country's Vice-President. Kenya's renowned photojournalist Mohamed Amin, also known as 'Six Camera Mo' was best known as a great frontline photojournalist, but he spent more time documenting his country’s beauty, wildlife, culture, people and leaders than anything else. Mo managed to use his cameras for more than a generation to bring East Africa’s most powerful stories into world view.
