Tharaka-Nithi Governor Muthomi Njuki has ignored Ameru elders’ demand to cleanse himself following underwears ‘curse’.
A section of Njuri Ncheke Council of Elders asked Governor Njuki to offer a bull for sacrifice to ‘cleanse him and county government offices of a curse’.
This was after hundreds of women drawn from Chuka, Maara and Tharaka sub-counties stormed his office last month and dumped their underpants at the gate.
The women were protesting what they called gross disrespect of women by Governor Njuki and his administration.
The elders said the dumping of the underwears by the women is a curse on the Governor.
Speaking in Chuka on Monday, Njuki has dismissed the elders’ demand, saying that they are being used by his political competitors to intimidate him and disrupt his work.
Njuri Ncheke Tharaka-Nithi County chairman Kangori M’Thaara, however, insists that Njuki must be cleansed, failure to which his administration will be hit by misfortunes.

@Kenya, ulisema ” Jesus was black FYI.” Ningependa kujua, je umekuwa mbaguzi wa rangi? Huyu ndugu yetu “Yesu” alitumiwa na Wanayuropa kuiba nchi za watu wengine duniani nzima. Nakuomba usiwe mateka (hostage) wa kutumia rangi ili kuwabagua binadamu wenzako!
Mambo ya rangi za binadamu ni ugonjwa mkubwa sana wa WanaYuropa. Waache wakae na ugonjwa wao wa rangi.

@Dada Kate:
Siku hizi ni rahisi sana kujifunza Kiswahili. Kwa nini? Unaweza kupata habari za Kiswahili kila siku unaposikiliza Kiswahili kinaposemwa kwenye runinga (television) kutoka idhaa nyingi za Kiswahili za Kenya na Tanzania. Isitoshe, BBC, Voice of America, na Redio ya Ujerumani wanatangaza kwa Kiswahili kila siku.
Pia unaweza kutazama filamu (films) za Kiswahili sanifu (standard Kiswahili) kutoka nchi ya Tanzania. Wananchi wa nchi ya Kenya wana tabia mbaya ya kuchanganya Kiswahili na Kiingereza wanapozungumza! Kwenye Bunge (parliament) ya Tanzania, wajumbe wa bunge wanatumia Kiswahili wanapojadiliana.
Mimi binafsi napendelea Kiswahili kutoka nchi ya Tanzania kwa sababu Serikali ya nchi hiyo imetilia mkazo wananchi wote wajue kusema na kuandika kwa Kiswahili sanifu. Isitoshe, masomo yote ya shule za msingi yanafundishwa huku wakitumia lugha ya Kiswahili.

Speak for your self and your tribe. My people and ancestors wore loin clothes long before the British came with their underwear.Visit the Kenyan museum when you are next in Kenya.Authentic africans na makabila ya bara wana haya si “kuexpose” your goods infront of the children and the inlaws..Not all tribes in Kenya let it hang like the giriyama of Coast tulikuwa tuna ziba out of respect. Mzungu hatuku “civilize” ni vile tuliona njia zingine za kutumia ngozi kama kutengeneza viatu
Asante sana kwa kupinga…
Asante sana kwa kupinga mambo haya ya ushirikina (superstition) wa chupi za kinamama. Kabla matapeli wa Yuropa kufika katika nchi ya Wameru, Wanawake wa Kimeru hawakuvaa chupi.
Mambo mengine ya ushirikina ambayo yanahitaji kukomeshwa nchini kote ni dini mbili za kigeni ambazo zililetwa na majambazi na matapeli wa kutoka Yuropu na Uarabuni. Msingi wa dini hizi mbili ni ushirikina.
