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! Exactly, i don't see why Uhuru should apologise to RAO. Like so many have said in this thread, how many times has Raila used derogatory words to demean his political opponents.....He should first start by apologizing to Kalonzo and Ruto, otherwise people will continue to treat him the same way he treats them.

It must be 'difficult' being a Kikuyu in Kenya. A Kikuyu forms an alliance with a Kamba/Kalenjin/Luhya = TRIBALIST, a Luo forms an Alliance with a Luhya/Kalenjin=DEMOCRACY. Give them a BREAK yawa

@Taz, just a thought, RAO uses vitendawili, and leaves it to your intepretation (which could be way off the mark)...UK on the other hand, refers to the person directly..."Kimundu" and hence this thread.
When UK used the kitendawili of a hyena waiting for an injured arm to fall off.....you did not hear such an outcry, did you?

In my interpretation, UK was merely alluding to one of his political competitors. If you are not a first speaker of this language, kindly look for an elder to take you through the kikuyupedia. @njore, y ru throwing a spin here? it's not fair to mislead wazuans that kimundu refers to big man. The actual interpretattion of kimundu is an ogre. pls cite ur kikuyupedia if am wrong! UK is misbehaving and confirms our worst fears that he is a legitimate hague material...this is a clear case of hate speech period! Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Mo,I disagree, kimundu is not an ogre. An ogre is irimu. And kimundu is not demeaning. If he said kamundu I would probably say he was belittling RAO. Lord, thank you!

Those supporting Uhuru, please answer this question and be very honest. Do you think Uhuru would refer to President Kibaki as Kimundu during an interview. Kindly do not support Uhuru just because he is your fellow tribesman. Politics aside, Uhuru has no respect for Raila, period yet he is a deputy PM.

Uhuru was not appointed deputy PM by Raila....as it stands he can't even sack the guy even if he wanted to. Why is it that we pretend we don't know how the current coalition govt is constituted. Uhuru was wrong to refer to Raila as "Kimundu" but he is not obligated to respect the guy, these two will probably be in different political camps in 2012.

Much the reason kaigangio is part of my favourite menu. This thread has been very hot and active for almost a week now. I doubt that there will be any further value addition to what has already been stated in this 'kimundu' business.
I beg to quit!

Guys what is the hulabaloo all about? really....? I am not getting why I should be siding with any of these two fellas....I think we should learn to differentiate what is of value to us.. Let us not validate stupid talk by these guys by further disussing it and being split... WE ARE THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY.... I do not listen to political talkshows ( and political news) coz all they do is split the country. Look at us now...is that all that we could pick from that interview? or is that what we are looking out for? With utmost respect to all who got caught up.. ABK! I Think Therefore I Am

who cares what Raila was called? He has been called much worse by more people - why are people suddenly overly sensitive over a word in a language that is not theirs? All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
