===Swynnerton Plan===
{{main|Swynnerton Plan}}
Baring knew the massive deportations to the already-overcrowded reserves could only make things worse. Refusing to give more land to the Kikuyu in the reserves, which could have been seen as a concession to Mau Mau, Baring turned instead in 1953 to Roger Swynnerton, Kenya's assistant director of agriculture.<ref name="Anderson 1988 I">{{Harvnb|Anderson|1988}}: "The Swynnerton Plan was among the most comprehensive of all the post-war colonial development programmes implemented in British Africa. Largely framed prior to the declaration of the State of Emergency in 1952, but not implemented until two years later, this development is central to the story of Kenya's decolonization".</ref><ref name="Elkins 2005 p127">{{Harvnb|Elkins|2005|p=127}}.</ref> The primary goal of the Swynnerton Plan was the creation of family holdings large enough to keep families self-sufficient in food and to enable them to practise alternate husbandry, which would generate a cash income.<ref name="Ogot 1995 48">{{Harvnb|Ogot|1995|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=AmFVjigwkxwC&pg=PA48 48]}}.</ref>

The projected costs of the [[Swynnerton Plan]] were too high for the cash-strapped colonial government, so Baring tweaked repatriation and augmented the Swynnerton Plan with plans for a massive expansion of the Pipeline coupled with a system of work camps to make use of detainee labour. All Kikuyu employed for public works projects would now be employed on Swynnerton's poor-relief programmes, as would many detainees in the work camps.<ref name="Anderson 1988 II">{{Harvnb|Anderson|1988}}.</ref><ref name="Elkins 2005 pp128-129">{{Harvnb|Elkins|2005|pp=128–129}}.</ref>
