U dont understand Kenya's politics better than me. I have lived here all my life and I have studied it.
Besides J. Kenyatta, it was Mboya that many kikuyus and indeed most Kenyans supported.
Do u know what Mboya did for the kikuyus that earned him unequalled respect and admiration from that tribe? Show me how well versed u are with our politics

I know that very well, but then why was he killed by the kikuyus?

It wasnt the all the kikuyus that killed Mboya, cos he was a luo. It was a political assassination, as I have told u above. Mboya was competing for power with some very dangerous persons close to Kenyatta.
His murder wasnt for the benefit of the kikuyus. It was in the interest of some few individuals.

Now, answer my question. Do u know why Mboya had more support among the kikuyus than the other kikuyu stalwarts like Koinange, Njonjo, Kibaki, Gichuru etc?

Kamukunji, then in was mainly inhabited by the kikuyus.
Even in the book Tom Mboya: The young man of new Africa revealed that fact. The opinion poll of 1960 showed him a well ahead of the other possible contenders of head of govt after independence, (Kenyatta was still in prison then). Mboya had 36% countrywide support, his closest rival James Gichuru at 22% while Oginga Odinga just had just 11% (no, he wasnt third) popularity.

Mboya had enemies both in Kenyatta and Oginga inner circles, it's hard to tell which cartel killed him. But he was very popular amongst general mwananchi irregardless of tribe or creed. The fact that he was killed by a Kikuyu doesn't make any of the cartels more guilty than the other.

You know, it's very easy to fool Tanzanians, these guys once they follow one route, nothing else can make sense, they hardly attempt to cerebrate beyond the obvious. Just like sometime back, a certain Tanzanian doctor named Ulimboka did put up an agitation against the state, he became popular amongst Bongos and was almost about to set forth a revolution.
He was later abducted and tortured, then released, when these Bongos attempted to revolt, they were easily calmed after a certain Kenyan was arrested and charged of the abduction. So the whole plot and attention was changed towards Kenya and Kenyans and they all fell for it so easily.

Indeed. Even the Chinese were implicated in the murder.

Ha ha ha; and the Russians too. In fact Nahashon Njenga Njoroge was instructed by Mossad agents based in Nairobi, who in turn were paid by both the CIA and MI5, duhu.

Mboya was a suspected CIA agent himself, whose job was probably to keep tab on the activities of the communist supporters in Afric and possibly thwart every of their maneouvres.
No wonder Oginga Odinga hated him and Jomo Kenyatta himself wary of him.

Nahashon Njenga was probably used by the communists to kill the biggest champion of capitalism in Africa.
