Today at the BBI retreat in Tsavo. A picture speaks more than a thousand words.

I will not begrudge the man his moment in the sun.

It is his turn to enjoy the sun shine.

While the sun shines on him, let us sit back and enjoy the show, for tomorrow (2022), there will be a new show in town.

For, in all honesty, the man has earned his place in the sunshine.

So BABA meet some Bonoko Elders? Anything is possible this season.

Very true. Agikuyu never had centralized leadership.

The lack of centralized leadership is more informed by the socio-political circumstances that prevailed at that time. Kikuyus had been ass whooped by the pastoralists Galla and Maasai tribes forcing them into a defensive posture in the ridges and forests of the highlands.

Kikuyu society was in a state of flux and lacked territorial stability which hindered the development of more sophisticated political organization with a bureaucracy like the Baganda. The constant search for new land which could be protected is what brought about the loose organization where people lived ridge to ridge and there was not much need for centralized leadership.

But as the kikuyu society has become more sophisticated the need for centralized leadership emerged to negotiate with other tribes for peaceful settlement in the Rift valley and political stability in urban areas with Western/Luo Nyanza. More or less Uhuru is acting like the first King of the Kikuyu. In 2022 kikuyus will hand over power to people who will safeguard the varied interests in urban areas and rift valley.
