Kikuyu's Are The Most Democratic Tribe In Kenya - A New Study Reports

Kenyan President: Uhuru Kenyatta

According to a report released by an independent body dubbed Kenya Yetu, members of the Kikuyu community are the most democratic people in the country.

 

The report which was released on Friday last week said members of the Kikuyu community allow different leaders from their community to contest for the same seat but eventually choose the “best” among the contestants.

 

The report gave an example of the last General Election where four members of the Kikuyu community vied for the Presidency but only one who was chosen by the community.

The four members from the Kikuyu community, who vied for Presidency include President
Uhuru Kenyatta, Peter Kenneth, Martha Karua and Paul Muite. President Uhuru Kenyatta was elected because he beat the other three in terms of credibility and popularity.

 

The report further says that it will take another 50 years for other communities to start practicing democracy as the Kikuyus do.

The report was commissioned and financed by USAID
