The Burden of Being a Kikuyu

 

I have tried over the years to know how other tribes perceive me.During those years, I have realized there is a heavy burden of being a Kikuyu. Here are my discoveries:

People think I am also rich

There is a notion that all Kikuyus are rich. When I am around, people don’t expect me to struggle like other Kenyans, they expect me to live in Runda, drive a big car and own apartments. The fact is:I am as poor as other Kenyans.

People think I receive first class services from the government

Since Uhuru is the president, other tribes think that since I am a kikuyu, my life is smooth. The fact is, I eat in a kibanda,I take my children to a public school, I become broke like any other Kenyan and also face reality of life like any Kenyan.

People think I am a thief

There is a stereotype that as a Kikuyu, I must be a thief. I have tried, in vain, to convince others that this habit is universal.

Someone with a long hand does not choose tribe, every tribe in Kenya has thieves.

They think I love money more than life

I always hear them say,”mkikuyu haweziacha pesa”.This is not correct.

They think I am a businessman

Since Kikuyu tribe is known to be entrepreneurs, everyone around me think I own business. In an effort to make them conmfortable,I have tried to open a business venture, but I failed terribly.

They think I am the reason they are suffering

Others think that I am the reason why they have problems, yet I am suffering the same way they are struggling.
