A Chinese media delegation visited the Kikuyu indigenous community in Kenya's Githirioni Uplands on Tuesday, the first such visit by a Chinese press team to the traditional heartland of the country's largest ethnic group.
Githirioni Uplands lies about 30 kilometers from capital city Nairobi and is a traditional home of the Kikuyu community.
For generations, people in the community have relied on farming as their primary livelihood, with social order upheld by elders and traditional chiefs.
The chief of the Githirioni Uplands Kikuyu community said that this was the first Chinese media delegation they had hosted.
"Chinese people are very good. You see they are making roads here. They are doing everything for us. That's why we are very happy with them. They are very good people and they are hardworking," said Baba Gitau, chief of the Githirioni Uplands Kikuyu community.
