The Kenyan history is weaved with the interplay of quintessential religiopolitical factors. In the past, some of the most important agents were the imperialist, missionaries, scholars and the adherents of African religions and philosophy. The history of central Kenya underlines that the Colonial government, the Missionaries, the African scholars and the Gikuyu elders collaborated in the forging and invention of the Gikuyu identity as we know it today. In the construction of the history, the sacred Mugumo was shrouded with religiopolitical power and used by the elders for social and religiopolitical control of the group. It was this religiopolitical symbiosis which was celebrated and ritualised around this traditional African shrine. Moreover, the sacred Mugumo prepared the ground for the evangelisation in the Gikuyu land and the political hegemony based on powerknowledge and control. Revisiting an African shrine through the sacred Mugumo tree will help the readers understand the Gikuyu cosmology as well as current religiopolitical conflicts in Kenya and look for solutions which will help the Gikuyu people coexist harmoniously with other ethnics groups in Kenya.
