The Rise of African Nationalism

Johnstone Kenyatta was in 1925 a Christian, mission-educated Kikuyu from Kiambu, not in very good odour with his Presbyterian mission (on account of beer-drinking and marital irregularities), round about 28 years of age, in good employment in Nairobi as a water-meter-reader and stores clerk. He was a dandy when dressed for best in sun helmet and plus-fours, sociable and in general cutting quite a dash. He was not politically engaged and had been no part of Harry Thuku’s enterprise. James Beauttah, 2 one of the first Africans to be recruited in 1910 for training as a telephone operator, persuaded him during 1925 to take an interest in the Kikuyu Central Association (KCA), which, led from Fort Hall by Joseph Keng’ethe, Jesse Kariuki and other members of the new African trading class, claimed continuity with Thuku’s East African Association
