Brewing and drinking muratina during traditional ceremonies is not illegal, a court has ruled.

Kikuyu Principle Magistrate D N Musyoka in March recognised muratina as part of the Kikuyu traditional customs.

He added that the constitution has a mandate to protect the cultures of all tribes in Kenya and no law created can infringe upon those cultural practices.

“They have to celebrate their traditional rites of passage through various ways and muratina (Agikuyu traditional brew) must form part of the celebrations,” Mr Musyoka said in his judgment.

I have always found it rather interesting that the Mzungu taught us not to drink Alcohol - yet he himself drunk it!

Mzungu banned all traditional brews and africans were not allowed to take bottled beer. Very selfish.

Fermentation is fermentation whether you are fermenting grapes (wine), barley/corn/maize (beer), potatoes/wheat (vodka), honey (muratina) or maize (busaa), coconut (mnazi). Even the spirits are the same - whisky from distilling beer, changaa from busaa. It's only that mzungu ages his "changaa" in oak barrels to add flavour and "smoothness", and calls it single malt whisky.

So sad that africans were made to hate their traditional brews and worship mzungu drinks. Its the new form of colonization/slavery to ensure all alcohol profits go to london to sustain "the empire".

A mzungu in europe is free to ferment barley or maize and sell to us as heineken or distill and sell to us as johnnie walker. But when a kenyan tries to do the same the APs raid your premises and you are dragged to court.

I thought it was obvious that the sap collected from the coconut palm ferments to become pombe ya mnazi? Or you want me to give details of the whole process?
