Final answer:
The text provided does not contain details about why Mr. Howlands left England for Kenya in the novel 'Weep Not, Child'. Without this information, factual details about his motivations cannot be given.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the novel Weep Not, Child by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, the character Mr. Howlands leaves England to come to Kenya as part of the British colonial presence in Africa.
The story is set against the backdrop of the tumultuous Mau Mau uprising, during Kenya's struggle for independence from British colonial rule. Unfortunately, the text provided does not explain Mr. Howland's motivations for coming to Kenya.
Therefore, I cannot confidently provide a detailed response based on the provided information.
Typically, such a character may be seeking new opportunities or may be motivated by the colonialist belief in bringing 'civilization' to other parts of the world.
But without specific information from the novel itself, any further answer would be speculative and not factually accurate.
