AMERU AND THEIR FRAGMENTED DEMOCRACYThe Ameru community of Meru County in Kenya, were the first people in black Africa who transformed their lives through different Epochs, while they moved from one place to another in history. Ameru were never static in nature; they moved from one place to another due to changing circumstances of their life. They were lucky or unlucky to be involved with other people who chased them from their homes for one reason or another.Their history threads several Epochs from their creation by God in the Middle East, where they were chased by their enemies who wanted to annihilate them. They crossed the Red Sea from the Middle East to Egypt and lived there for many centuries as they advanced in technology to be the builders of the Pyramids, before being forced out by the Libyan mercenaries. Their second long and epic journey ended when they settled in Mboa (Manda Island) Kenya.In Manda Island, Kenya which they named Mboa (new home), they lived for centuries before being disturbed by the people they called Nguuntune (the Portuguese) from 15th, century to 17th, Century. The Portuguese had hunted and captured them as slaves for export to Americas. Through those bumpy and bouncy experiences, they had developed various methods of survival and organization of their governance.The Ameru community embraced actual democratic Government that had three independent arms for its operations. There was the Legislature arm, held by Njurincheke who made laws for the community. There was the Judiciary arm, held by Mugwe who judged and delivered judgments for the cases brought before him on behalf of the aggrieved parties. There was the Executive arm, held by one Kaura O'Becau who performed the role of the administration and advice on all matters that required arbitration.Thus, even before the arrival of the colonizers in Kenya, Ameru of Meru County had their three institutions that governed the affairs of the community in a democratic manner, with the rule of law being paramount.Anywhere, in Africa, it was only in Meru, Kenya where people practiced a "democratic government of the people by the people for the people themselves." However, when civilization and modernization emerged with colonizers taking control of Kenya and eventually Kenya gaining Independence, the Ameru Community's Egalitarianism, Social Equality and Democracy were disintegrated, fragmented and disjointed.You are welcome to read on to discover how that disintegration and fragmentation came about.
