The conflict between kameno and makuyu

Long ago, a man rose in Makuyu. He claimed that Gikuyu and Mumbi sojourned there, so it meant leadership belongs in Makuyu. Not everyone believed this, thinking they had stopped in Kameno. In Kameno they said Murungu gave them the land and that a sacred spring sprang where they stood. People still paid homage to it. The great Gikuyu seer, Mugo, was also born there, grew up there, and warned everyone that someday the people with clothes like butterflies would come. And come they did—they were the white men.
