ABSTRACT

From this brief summary of how the Kikuyu came to move into the district now known as Kiambu and how, in the process of doing so-or more correctly as a result of doing so-they altered their law and custom in relation to land tenure and land ownership, we must turn to some other matters of practical importance in relation to the problems which form the basis upon which Mau Mau leaders have been able to build up the present position of mistrust and unrest.
