The move by Kikuyu elder Mukami Kimathi blessing Honorable Raila Odinga ahead of nearing 2022 general elections has created mixed reactions as social media users stating that it`s not right for a Kikuyu woman elder to bless another elder.
Was Mukami Kimathi blessing his age mate Raila Odinga or punishing him? In kikuyu, when someone use gome ( fist), it means you are displining someone. It was being used by our grandmothers to displine us when we misbehave. pic.twitter.com/3h5d9PuIyx
