I dont think August is more special than other months.

In keeping up with the Jones's, this issue is just being intentionally imprinted and drilled down on our psyche. So that maybe Kenyans can also develop their own superstition just as other peoples have their number 13.

Death of loved ones, who are important to the affected ones, occurs every single day of every single month.

Many good things including the birth of those to be loved by those 'affected' also occur in August.
