Stop misquoting me, brother!
As much as it MUST have been directed at Raila, my thrust is that people are over-analysing a simple statement in an effort to bring in tribe in a statement that initially was not meant to bring tribal connotations. If ODM was led by a Somali and UK was not a Kikuyu for instance people would overlook this statement but they have CHOSEN to interpret it to fit their opinions of UK.
If someone asks '
ureciria ndi kihii giaku?'= you think am your boy/son? he is NOT happy with you and is showing his annoyance. It is rude, I agree but not an insult to the addressee(or his tribe as was brought out).
I would have been offended if he had said 'Mareciria Kibaki ni kihii tao'- They think Kibaki is uncircumcised like them! or '
Mareciria Kibaki ti Muruu'- They think Kibaki is uncircumcised.
Once again, let us desist from trying to bring in tribe where it is absent. Also, trying to push the Agikuyu into a corner where even their most innocent statements are searched for any small connotation of hate speech and when we lack one we manufacture it!
