Here is an excerpt
CP
Thuku was so vocal against forced labour that he came to be known as “Munene wa Nyacing’a” the chief of women. Women adored him. The government was threatened by his growing influence and militancy. Powerful chiefs; the famous Koinange wa Mbiu, the utterly loathed Philips Karanja James and the notorious headmen; Josiah Njonjo (father to Charles Njonjo) and Waruhiu wa Kung’u hated his guts. He had built a reputation touring the country pushing against the Kipande system, low wages, and high taxation.
