§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe first step in the return of the Kikuyu, Embu and Meru to political life is participation in it by those who have received certificates of loyalty and are registered as voters. Every Kikuyu, Embu or Meru who has been so registered may attend meetings of any district political association, and as more and more are registered, more and more will be able to attend meetings of these associations.
