Day 7 Continued

We keep hearing about the dominance of the Kikuyu group here. Cycle for Life was organized by Lari Peace Program, with MCC Kenya. They did an amazing job. But there were also comments from some in the various audiences that if the Kikuyu run the country (they historically have had a lot of power, politically and economically) they become a little suspicious of them also being such strong advocates now for Peace. The trust is not there ... . When we were cycling, we should have had more local speakers on the loudspeakers ... so that people could hear their own accent more often. Joseph assures us that most people thought very highly of the Cycling Event, and that a lesser number will be troubled by the Kikuyu presence in the event.
