The Kikuyu were never meant to leave Central Province. Colonial labor laws and land restrictions kept them contained. But after independence, they moved. To Nairobi, where they dominated trade and real estate. To the Rift Valley, where they bought settler farms. To Kisumu, Mombasa, and Eldoret, where they opened businesses. By the 1980s, Kikuyu were economically dominant across the country. This mobility bred resentment. "Kenya is for everyone, but the Kikuyu own it" became a common complaint. The diaspora created wealth but also entrenched ethnic inequality. This trail maps the migration and asks what it cost.
