The term "Mount Kenya Mafia" refers to the network of Kikuyu business and political elites who have controlled Kenya's economy since independence. They dominate banking, real estate, manufacturing, and agriculture. They leveraged Kenyatta's presidency to acquire land, win tenders, and secure licenses. Under Moi, they lost political power but kept economic dominance. Kibaki restored them. Uhuru governed with them. Ruto ran against them and won. But even now, the core economic infrastructure remains in their hands. This trail maps how Kikuyu capital captured the Kenyan economy and why it has been nearly impossible to dislodge.
