Young Kikuyu Association

The Young Kikuyu Association (YKA) was formed in Kenya on the 10th June 1921[1], as a break away organisation from the Kikuyu Association (KA). In July 1921 it was renamed the East Africa Association (EAA).

Harry Thuku, who had previously been secretary of the KA[2], felt that the KA was not demanding enough from the British Authorities in Kenya and that grievances should be sent directly to London.
