Playne - Inspector of Police in 1909 

Lindsay Frederick Braun: John McClymont entered the EAP police force effective 9 Feb 1907 at a rate of pay of 150 pounds per annum, with quarters provided. He resigned this post effective 30 April 1910.  A “J. McClymont” is gazetted as a stock inspector in Athi effective 26 May 1910, which suggests a significant change of profession, perhaps occasioned by a grant of land.  In 1916, a “J. McClymont” (very odd as no forename is given, even though others’ are) is listed as “Stock inspector, Veterinary Department,”  but no locale, with an effective service date of 25 Jun 1914—not 1910—which suggests discontinuity in employment if he is the same person.  The Agriculture Dept report of the EAP (page 88) for 1917 says that he returned from ‘leave’ in December 1916 and was dismissed as unfit medically on 24 Feb 1917. In the 1913 report, John McClymont is a labour clerk in Ukamba Province, at a pay of 2400 rupees p/a, hired in on 1 Mar 1911 and noted as resigning his post effective 31 Jul 1912. The farming aspect is supported by his 1912 testimony to the Native Labour Commission (Witness 175), as a farmer in Nandi who employs 20 Africans and believes that squatting and farming on the halves is ultimately a good (provided legal authority always remains with the employer).
