First, you make a false assertion that British arrived in Kenya mainly to find a way into Uganda… and then you go to the Internet and screenshot a page that nowhere near supports your false assertion. Ama ulikuwa mangwelo ukiscreen shot iyo page?
Alafu bhangi zinakurunda zinakushow uende YT to share Top Gear. A video that has no relationship to the subject matter.
If that is not enough unakuja na YT video ingine ya history of Bantu people. Nikikuuliza how that video is related to the topic (How Capitalism Started Mau Mau Uprising) unaropokwa ujinga.
Jomba! Put your random thoughts in order and stick to the topic, if you can’t chorea coz sio lazma ureply.
Was the topic - the main reason why British arrived in Kenya?
The topic is about capitalism and how it started Mau Mau Uprising. But wewe na izo bhangi zako, unaleta another topic that not only is false but also unrelated to the subject matter.
In the colonial times, they were a huge % of people who wanted the colonialist to leave, so that they would revert back to their traditional ways of living.
Then there was Jomo Kenyatta, who had lot’s of admiration for the British aristocracy, Jomo believed that England was stable , financially, socially and military wise , courtesy of the English Aristocrat.
When he took power, He created an Aristocratic class, hoping for stability.
What you have said is true: the aspirations of the freedom fighters and those of the Kenyan politicians were diametrically different.
The former were fighting mainly for two things: land and freedom. The latter, on the other hand, were agitating primarily for political change.
The latter were mostly interested in gaining access to state power so that they can loot and plunder at the expense of the freedom fighters and poor natives.
They deliberately kept the wages low so that the earnings of one family member would not be enough to pay taxes for the rest. This meant that more family members were forced to engage in waged labor. In addition, the displacements were also meant to send people closer to where labor was needed. Farming settlers in different regions would lobby administrators to send more people in their areas to increase the workforce.
In order to create an aristocratic class in the otherwise classless Kikuyu system led by chiefs, he had to create structured inequality via dispossession of lands belonging to weak Kikuyus like @Straw_man and transfer them to wealthy Kikuyus like @Gaines via collusion with people like @Landlord.
Then he had to feed his people hardcore propaganda ranging from Maumau, Praying while facing east, squatting at mugumo trees and other miscellaneous bushmen activities.
True dat the other side of displacement was those who were moved away to make room for settler thugs. Kama huko Nandi Hills and kericho those people from there have incredibly sad histories. There was nothing gentle about the so called displacements hiyo ilikua full on scorched earth. The descendants have been left destitute to this day. Beberu kumamake
