Lamu, Kenya: Mpeketoni was created as a settlement in the late 1960s and early 1970s by President Jomo Kenyatta to settle landless Kenyans, mainly from Murang’a and other parts of the former Central Kenya, who were expelled from Tanzania after the collapse of first East Africa Community.
The settlement was centred around a fresh water lake named after the first President of Kenya.
