That’s because Nairobi is closer to Central and so shares many characteristics with Central.

So ukienda hardware stores za nyanza na kisii, bungoma etc zote ni za wakikuyu??

Nairobi is nearer to Kiambu and other Mt. Kenya regions, hence the demographics vile umeambiwa hapo juu. Stop imagining

Usde your head boy, do you think kikuyus just settled all around kiambu, and then they decided to set up an imaginary border where they stopped living.

Furthermore, all modern names for counties and places did not exist. So nairobi was noactually a name it was called by anyone.

Just because people had temporarily moved from the area known as nairobi due to the plague brought by the whites does not mean it ws empty land with no owner

Chief Waiyaki whom Waiyaki way is named owned all the land today known as kangemi, uthiru, westlands, lavington, karen, dagoreti, getathuru (kitisuru), CBD. Maasai occupied the embakasi plains to graze their cattle.

Msungu arrived from the east via masai plains, so he asked the maasai who were grazing huko embakasi what they call the land where springs were flowing from and they said ilrobi, the place of cool waters. so msungu called it nairobi. Otherwise the place was known as kabete to the agikuyu.

Yes, karura ni jina ya mtu. I even know people alive today who are called karura. It is a semi-cxommon name orginating from the big karura clan. A simple facebook search could have saved you this embrassment.

Back in the old days, a family patriach was allowed to aportion a piece of his land for ferstry on his death bed. So on his death bed, karura bequethed the area as a forest, and ordered that it should not be tilled.

Upuss. All Kikuyu aspirants for the governor’s seat in Nairobi have failed. Kikuyus are not the majority in Nairobi county and the voting patterns prove it.

Now that Nairobi also neighbours the kamba and maasai, why are they not in the picture as prominent business owners.

You obviously know little about the history of the city. Our first capital was Masaku (Machakos) during the construction of the lunatic express.Nairobi was chosen as the capital due to its flat terrain and the fact that it was an uninhabited swampland teeming with wildlife.

All that used to be Masai land all the way to Mt Kenya and beyond huko Laikipia. Why were the 3 peaks named after Masai laibons and not wandu wa makeri for example if you were the original inhabitants

Quit picking your nose and brush up on history before you rush here to smear makamas Kwa pages za kijiji

As i pointed out earlier, the lie that all of nairobi was a swamps holds no water. It was simply abandoned due to diease as people moved to the interior to “escape” the plague of smallpox brought by the whites, which they ended up spreading to their relatives, thus leaving the area “empty” but the idea that nairobi was all a swam is nonsense

There is zero link between the numbers in business ownership and the number of voters. Something else, many business owners in the city belong to other central counties. Lastly, the Kikuyu voting block in the city is a deciding factor in most elections, only that it does not necessarily support own candidate.

When you see the likes of SIfuna and Babu Owino denouncing Ruto so loudly, it is because they know the central vote in Nairobi can mean the difference between a win and a loss.
