“kurutu” is now a popularised Swahili name meaning inexperienced or a person new to the job .

Its origins can be traced to the colonial era when the Mzungu enrolled new RECRUITS into the Police force.
Kuruti is a corrupted version of Recruit.

Other names of places that owe their meanings to that time in Kenya’s history include Karioko and Kariobangi.

For no points at all,can anyone tell us where the names Karioko and Kariobangi originated from?

Easy,Kariako is Carrier Corps yio ingine sielewi
