Government

Settlers had their own parliament, the Legislative Council
ultimate power rested with the Governor, who was answerable to London

Settlers looked to self-government like Rhodesia achieved in 1922.

London look to allow immigration from India to Kenya; and to enfranchise the Asian population already there;

Foreign Office: under the Duke of Devonshire, p. 19

Delamere's "Vigilance Committee" to London, compromise:
highlands to remain exclusively white in perpetuity;
no Indian immigration
only a very limited representation of Asians on the Legislative Council;

1920s: Kenya secured for the whites, and the beginning of a more flamboyant, expansive age;

Beginning of the expansive bungalow mansions, in the "Surrey Tudor" style, see elsewhere.
