This is what Uhuru Kenyatta said in Kikuyu " Mareciria Kibaki in Kihii kiao mamuthakagire?"
This is what it means in my english translation:
"Do they think Kibaki is their lad / boy to be playing with?"
This is what NTV interpreted in 9.00 pm News on Sunday night.
"Do they think Kibaki is uncircumcised?"
What is Nation upto? Aren't they inciting Kenyans by this?
No other news channel bothered to show what Uhuru said in Kikuyu.

Damn! Sick kiddish heads in NTV. In the context of the statement, UK clearly meant "boy" and not "uncircumcised". Me thinks baks has given the media too much freedom. If muzzling these guys is the only way we can get MATURE news on our screens n avert political acrimony following media incompetence, then GAG them for all we care! That editor probably daznt see the magnitude of the pandora's box he may hav opened! TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

I guess nation group has some beef with Uhuru kenyatta. or there are people NMG trying to potray Uhuru negatively all the time including using lies.
Did you see that article in the nation recently where uhuru had referred to a certain politician as "Kimundu" when discussing politics in Kameme radio? what was their interpretation of "Kimundu"?... "A bad evil person"..... I just laughed at this.

Hii mambo ni ngumu kweli!What uhuru said can be interprated to mean either of the two though I feel that in "spirit" he was talkin of a boy/lad.It was reckless of NTV to be the judge . . . .maybe they should have just covered his rally.Fullstop. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

@Kelele,
There is no problem with NTV showing what Uhuru said. The problem is WRONG & Inciting English Translation. If they do not have a Kikuyu who can give them correct interpretation they should get one.... why should a respected media house like NTV write (in english) what he did not say....they showed him speaking in Kikuyu and they wrote something different from what he was saying?

NTV are upto something (read Odindo) Raila made statements at Tononoka which bordered on hate speech and they remained silent. ask yourself why?

If you know Kikuyu read or listen to what Uhuru said. It can only be interpreted in only one way in my opinion if you translate the whole sentence (taking into account all the words in the sentence).

There is no way Uhuru's statement can be interpreted the way NTV did. I happen to have been born and brought up in chags and even studied Kikuyu language in lower Primary school in addition to interacting with the old wazee's. That statement can only be interpreted the way Liv has.
Now if Uhuru had stopped at "Mareciria Kibaki ni Kihii", It could have the NTV meaning. But the word "kiao" even without adding the other words changes this completely.
Surely, NTV owes Uhuru an apology.
Now, for those who may only think the word Kihii means what you already know. The word also means a son. So your old man may as well refer to you among wazees as "Kihii giakwa" But this is not common nowadays. But of course this is not what Uhuru meant.

Am a Kyuk and i heard what UK said. Regardless of what maana ya ndani na ya nje means, the guy was simply very ARROGANT. Ati "Hague ti kwa nyina, nituguthie kuo tugetetere". This man ought to know how to respect other people, and especially so their mothers. What's hague got to do with somebody's mum?.
The guy is not a presidential material. The fact that he's kenyatta's son or his Dad's Pic happens to be in kenya's legal tender or that he happens to be "in-charge" of kenya's money matters doesn't qualify him to be president. He is loosing it by the day and stands to loose more when hague beckons.
He should be ASHAMED of his utterances.
