Kenyans of Asian origin have officially been gazetted as the Kenya's 44rd tribe. President Uhuru Kenyatta in a gazette notice dated July 22nd said that the community has become an integral part of the national fabric.
"All persons, bodies and authorities within the Republic of Kenya shall recognize the community of Kenyans of Asian heritage as being Kenya's 44th tribe," Uhuru said.
A human rights activist Farah Manzoor said she has been fighting for the inclusion of the Asian community as Kenyans for five years.
“The people who have supported this petition with me have done it on their own individual capacities and have expressed this in the Freedom of the Right of Expression as enshrined in the Bills of Rights of our Constitution,” Farah said.
Farah held a meeting with members of the Asian communities in January and briefed them about the petition. Hindus, Muslims – Sunni and Shia – Sikhs, Bohra and Goans attended the meeting.
This comes barely months after a directive by the head of state that enabled eligible stateless Makonde people to issued with national ID cards, making them country's 43rd tribe.

With all respect Mr presidentyou have sold Kenya out for the sake of Votes for the sake of your interest. you want the Indians to vote for you? how low can you go for the sake of a vote? `Your last 5 years performance should speak for itself. this is unethical wrong very wrong and should be reversed.
Mr president you should be ashamed of yourself for this act if not for anything else you have done to bring Kenya to the ground
I wish you know how the Indians treat us. Indians did not want Kenya to be free from British rule .
Indians are from India if am wrong correct me and give the 3rd generation Britishers living in Kenya the same .
Shameful, disgraceful , sell out . shame on you mr president you have done an evil deed against Kenya for the sake of power . God help us
Uhuru is showing signs of desparation. Since when have wahindis as they are known considered Kenyans. They are the most abusive and pay the least. I worked for one and they are just like Arabs who think africans are slaves.Go to a hockey game or even if you are at a club and happen to be watching cricket see how they cheer for the opposing team be it Pakistan India or Sirilanka.How about making them learn to speak the national language and requiring them to respect their workers .Jubilee is destroying Kenya they need to be sent home ASAP
And Matiang'i (of all hitherto Respected People) presided over(officiated) this Tribal Crap. Shame on him; kwa ajili Atatumiwa Kama Toilet Paper (alafu "Atupwe kwa Choo" kama Saitoti na Nkaissery).
I live and work in the US. As. Kenyan dispora community we have the same right in America. Why can't others whose grandparents lived in Kenya have the same right? Kenyan Australians have similar rights. That how the it has become world over.
Spot on! It is a shame that people who enjoy unfettered rights in foreign country want to deny 'outsiders' the same in their country.
Those Indians are Kenyans they have Kenyan Id and Kenya passport. They have the same rights as any other Kenyans. Creating a fake tribe is nonsense. You have the same right as Americans but they did not create a fake tribe for you to fit in.
There is a Big Difference between the Right to be:
1. United into One as Citizens of a Country and
2. Dividing (a Country) into Tribes (and fueling Differnces to Disharmony).
When you are a naturalized Kenya or Kenyan by birth you are a KENYAN. How desperate are you Uhuru for another five year term to create two artificial ethnic groups before the election day! Are you afraid that when you are not re-elected again you and your boss (Toroitch Arap Moi) will be forced to return to the people of Kenya all the lands and wealth he and your father obtained illegally while in they were in power? Is that the reason that you openly said that you will protect the loot of your friend (Biwott) that he obtained illegally when he was known as the "total man?" By the way, did he tell you about the death of the late Ouko before he died? If he did, please let us know!
We need a lawyer as a president or vice president in power so that we don't have to deal with embarrassing issues that Uhuru and Ruto have done to the people of Kenya due to their lack of basic knowledge and understanding of the Kenyan Constitution and the laws of Kenya.
By the way Uhuru, are you going to change the Kenyan passport next week so that your passport will read, "Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta - Mugikuyu?"
You had your time in office. You have finished building your house near "our state house." It's time you started moving your personal belongings in your private house before August 8, 2017.
What is the purposes of creating a fake tribe? If they have Kenyan passport and Id that all they need. They go on with their lives without any fear or prosecution. A fake tribe will not add any value into their lives. The name 'Kenyans of Asian heritage' will include all the people from the Asia continent
Asians treat Africa like slaves at their industrial company with lots of intimidation. Human rights should be ENFORCED in this company and they should treat Africans with respect.
Those violating this orders should be prosecuted.
Asians are not africans. Their ancestors came to help the white man exploit africans. Their features and language are not African. Uhuru is looking for votes. Why not consult before adding an entire tribe.They have Kenyan passports and IDs why they need additional recognition is foolishness. They do not consider themselves Africans why are we including them . What about the Somalis, Congolese and Ethiopians are the next. Do not forget the Chinese who are benefitting greatly supposedly "developing" Kenya.
Diaspora there they go again!!!!This guys migrated to Kenya more than 100 years ago,other day makondes from Zambia were recognised as 43rd tribe but u guyz didn't payukard the way ur doing here??Usa/U.K. Wherever ur have made u their citizens having all them rights,the reasons why they didn't add u as a tribe is because they don't haves tribes kingdoms .So please sometimes let's b using our brains to think instead of using makamasi??Tunalinganga boasting how wr Americans coz we have passport which actually don't add any food or make u rich coz of having it so let the Asians enjoy n feel @ home aslong as they respect the law na pia nyinyi do the same in those modern slaverly white man country.Uhuruto tano tena!!Ngai wakirinyaga arathime Kenya iitu (God of kirinyaga may he continue to bless our Kenya)As this majuu pple refused to come back home hahahaha ati juu nikubaya others like Asians r proud to call Kenya home.Uhuruto Tano tena
