Three Pillars of Agikuyu Governance system
« on: July 14, 2024, 10:38:57 PM »
1. Mutongoria

2. Njamba

3. gitonga

The kikuyus believed that for a governing structure to work there has to be three pillars. Mutongoria (chosen leader), Njamba (warrior) and gitonga (Richman). Those pillars were necessary for the community governance to be effective. Mutongoria had to show ability, qualities and gift of leadership, gitonga had to wealthy and be willing to use the wealth for the welfare of the society, Njamba was the ultimate defender of the community against external enemies.

Every community in Kenya has a Mutongaria and that is what kikuyu elites particularly the Gitongas and the Mutongorias must know and accept .

 The president  today is a Kalenjin, and his Gitongas are many combined communities led by Kalenjin, you can't subbotage him, no its not possible and will not be allowed by all means!

Ruto is not a good Mutongoria. He is an ego maniac and a vile tribalist
