BIOGRAPHY OF SENIOR CHIEF, DANIEL M'IRINGO KIRINGO: AN ICON OF IGEMBE PEOPLE (BIOGRAGHIES Book 1)
When the Generation Writers and Authors concluded their book titled “Why Kenyans are not Historians,” I wondered why they had said such a thing. But later, I discovered that Kenyans and Africans in general are not Historians. Why? It is because they never write their personal memoirs or biographies of their famous people to be read by others after they are gone.
When I read that book in Amazon.com titled "Why Kenyans are not Historians," I was convinced that, Kenyans are not Historians because they never write or cause their history to be written down for others to read after they are gone.
Therefore, it is true that when people die, they die with all their knowledge and they go into their graves with all their knowledge. But people are not supposed to die with all their knowledge; they are supposed to die empty handed and leave their knowledge to be acquired by others through books authored by them or by others about them as Biographies.

If you cannot write a book to be read by others about your knowledge, then you are said to die with your knowledge. If you are not able to write a book, you can cause someone to write it on your behalf, and that is what we call a Biography about your life, and people will read your book and about your activities in life; that way, you will have not died with your knowledge.

In Meru, stories are told of the giants and icons of Ameru people who saved their community from calamities, but the stories are distorted because they are not written for they are oral and verbal through centuries and generations. They are mixed up and confusing as to which Era they belonged to. There are such people as: KIRITHIA IBULI, KOOME NJOE, MUKUNGA AND GACHUURIA, KAURA O'BECAU and MUGWE OF AMERU, all these people are always confused in their different Eras in history.

In this edition, you will read about them and you will be explained their different roles in the history of Ameru as you get the Biography of Mzee, Senior Chief, Daniel M'Iringo Kiringo, an Icon of Igembe People, a man who lived and served his people with dedication and love during the colonial and after the colonial period.

This book has been authored to plead for a cause of those icons to be remembered and considered by Ameru People in their History, since Writers have been born in the 21st, Century. Remember, in the past century, people have been asleep in writing of their History. This edition therefore, is a bonus and gratuity to the new generations that will follow and will have interests in the History of Ameru. Those who will read the book will have an advantage over those who will miss reading it.
