However, history is marked by instances when the populace has risen up, contesting the divine authority of their rulers and challenging the established order.

The Hola Massacre
Hola Exile Camp was in an arid, mosquito-infested area in the East of the colony near Garissa. By March 1959, it held about 1000 hardcore detainees some of whom had been brought in from Mageta Island where they had participated in a major riot. On March 3rd 1959, 88 of the Hola detainees were marched outdoors for the day’s labour which they refused to do. They politely stated that they were liberation detainees and not prisoners meaning they did not have to work. While this was true in the years prior, the ‘Cowan Plan’ was now in effect empowering the guards to compel them to work if need be.
