Wazee wa kwetu hawanyambi

Where I come from, in a group of men, if one of them pollutes the air (kunyamba), the blame goes to the youngest. "sasa hawa vijana hawana andabu kabisa"

if its a group consisting men and women and the air is polluted, the blame goes to the woman/women, irrespective of who actually did it. someone may retort "ni nini hawa wamekula" indicating the direction of the woman/women

if there is a Kihihi in the vicinity, and the air is polluted, the blame goes to kihihi, irrespective of who actually did it. A mzee may shouts "Toka hapa pumbafu" to the kihihi.

and if there is a dog in the vicinity, and the air is polluted, the blame goes to dog, irrespective of who actually did it!! Someone shouts "hebu fukuza huyo mbwa"
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

You look down, and the blame game starts in the order listed.

...A Kihi (...saw the word for the first time in Ngugi Wa Thiongo's The river between...) It simply means a man who is unedited...

@Kingfisher...What if the Wazees are all alone with no dog, kihii and women in the vicinity?
