Jomo Kenyatta Jomo Kenyatta. Speech at the Kenya African Union Meeting at Nyeri. K.A.U. It is the biggest purpose the African has. It involves every African in Kenya and it is their mouthpiece which asks for freedom. If we unite now, each and every one of us, and each tribe to another, we will cause the implementation in this country of that which the European calls democracy.
True democracy has no colour distinction.
It does not choose between black and white. We are here in this tremendous gathering under the K.A.U. flag to find which road leads us from darkness into democracy. In order to find it we Africans must first achieve the right to elect our own representatives. That is surely the first principle of democracy. We are the only race in Kenya which does not elect its own representatives in the Legislature and we are going to set about to rectify this situation.
