  6. CONCLUSION My presentation shows the traditional cultures of Kenya. Marriage in Kenya shows the value and respect for human life, respect for peoples property, morality and also good leadership and belief in their marriage. These values provide the moral code for people to follow for they were taught that peoples property have to do with honesty and righteousness. This is why traditional cultures in Kenya had their children socialize to embrace moral values. Tradititional cultures recognized value of wealth as the basic ingredient of good leadership, in Kenya today a lot of people strive for positions of leadership in order to gain good wealth. This is why many of their leaders get involved in corrupt deals from left and right.
