### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Njegeni
*by P***N on 9 November 2012*

Most interesting to me is the chapter on magical practices and witchcraft; learning the difference between a medicine man and a witch doctor. Kenyatta gives a chilling description of the burning of a witch doctor as related by his grandfather who was a leading elder. Gikuyu society was complex and not understood by the British. No schools or hospitals existed in the accepted sense, but equally there was not an orphanage, old-age home or jail in sight. Law and order was regulated by fear of God and departed spirits and life was a series of rites of passage, ceremonies, sacrifices and rituals. A fascinating book by the LSE educated first President of Kenya.
