@Guka, your wisdom is needed on the interpretation of "kimundu", seems like the persons claiming to know are not even in agreement...

It would have been better if UK referred to RAO as "agita mundu wake", why "Kimundu". Yes it's derogatory whichever way we look at it. If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love - Maya Angelou

Impunity wrote:Robinhood wrote:Raila calls other leaders Mbwa, Tumbili/Nyani, mara Nundu changu!! and this is not hate speech?! Look at the context...not your personal emotions. When RAO said "nyef-nyef kama ngiri" he usually say so in a light touch;When UK says "kimundu" he means it. How would you know? Just because people laugh at RAOs statements doesn't mean he doesn't mean it. Anyway, seems 'Kimundu' clearly is an ambiguous word just like 'Consultation'. So let's relax and be easy.

The Kikuyus on this forum know very well that "Kimundu" is deragotory when used in this context yet some of them want to confuse us with their personal interpretations. It is not only disrespectful but also irresponsible for Uhuru to refer to Raila who is his senior as so. This guy is a tribal leader and cannot represent the Kenya we are all yearning for. Those referring to others others as "Mukabira", "Mundu wa ruguru" should just stop it. No need justifying a wrong with another wrong.

Well said Wamutoni. Waseni pretence. We all know the context that Uhuru Muratina used the word. Kimundu is doesn't have a positive meaning in any context never mind this one. Uhuru is being his usual arrogant sit. Remember what he said about Marth the other day? The Governor of Nyeri - 2017

The word Kimundu is not derogatory as such although i believe as used here,it was meant to demean.If it's true UK used the word to refer to RAO,then i would consider that disrespectful and the kind of words that will take us back to 2007/2008.An apology would be in order. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Kimundu can be used by peers when they are joking or playing.Like 'wacha, thie naku kimundu kiki' .But given the context ,when Uhuru was confronted by masai, he said 'pressure ndio inapanda saa zingine' Uhuru meant something like , 'goma ino' or 'shetani hii'. A simple apology is in order.Kwa pande yangu nitamsamehe kwa sababu Makosa imefanyika.Lakini asirudie tena. I will fight anything that may take us back to 2008/9 whether said by RAO Uhuru Ruto , Kalonzo , Martha , Wamalwa and all these pretenders to the big seat Ulimi ni moto.Ulimi ni upanga pia. punda amecheka

Uhuru intended to show his strained relations with Raila. Let's not debate that fact. Haikuwa kimundu a buddy. It was meant to show disrespect. But I don't see why I come in. Or how this can lead to chaos again. We are used to hearing this stuff since multi-partyism was re-introduced in 1991. Rallies in the 90s by the opposition were full of such insults with people referring to Moi with many derogatory words. Kibaki too has been a victim of insults. UK na RAO wadeal na issues zao. If Raila was offended, he should sue UK. Tribe does not come in here unless insulting Raila is insulting the whole Luo Nation. Let's not forget, that as much as we had incitement in the last polls, most of the people were already full of hate and thus it didn't require a major excuse for them to start hacking others!

am amazed by how we have wazua tribalist worse than politicians. The issue of UK calling Rao Kimundu is their business and should not be assumed to mean that it was tribe calling the other names. As a matter of fact,Rao himself calls others names and kenyans are expected to accept it as democracy..you stupid kenyans. I hate hypocricy !! period !! and supporting Raila does not mean someone is a nationalist while you support Uhuru you are a tribalist. Wake up you people and shun hypocricy !!
