From looking at large cities like Jo'berg, Lagos, Cairo etc, it is clear that any wazuan holding a clean 1/4 or 1/2 or even a 1/8 piece of land within 15 km radius of Nairobi, Mombasa or Kisumu will have done a great favour to his descendants. We learn from the mistakes of our ancestors and make corrections where they may have failed

Just for perspective. Mzee became president when he was 74 years old. He had very simple tastes, the man enjoyed just sitting down at lake Nakuru or Mombasa State House being entertained by Nyakinyua women dancers. Even when he was in Nairobi he lived in Gatundu and spent every night at home. I get the feeling he would have cared less about accumulating property. He however had a young wife who I hear is very business savvy. Most of the property was bought in her name. She accumulated land and was involved in ivory trade. She has only given one interview in her life when she spoke to Kameme a few years ago and in that interview she said, "Muthee agikua ndari na mbia, twendirie mugunda niguo ciana ithome" (When mzee died he did not have money, I had to sell land for the children to go to school." She said this in the same tone of voice that a woman with one acre speaks of selling a half acre of land. I think part of the reason Uhuru is so down to earth is because he probably grew up being told, "gutiri mbia." (There is no money.)
