ABSTRACT

The first people I wished to come to terms with were the Kalyera, who had given me so much trouble on the road to Naivasha. I wished

to prevent my people being killed when taking the food down, and as these murders had been on the increase, I was afraid that they would eventually block the road. I determined to keep the route open at all costs, it being the only way into Naivasha. As I have already said, the Kikuyu country is very hilly and difficult for travelling, and to reach Kalyera we should have to cross several mountains and rivers.
