I find nothing derogatory in the term "kimundu". This idea of picking on a word whose meaning some people dont know and ascribing to it a derogatory meaning is simply not on.

In gikuyu, 'ki' represents 'big size' and 'mundu' is a human being or simply a person. Therefore, 'ki-mundu' denotes a giant of a human being. If it were 'ka-mundu' this would imply a dwarf. The use of the term 'ki-mundu' by UK is not derogatory at all. As a proud mugikuyu, I would be very unhappy with a non-mugikuyu to misinterpret and misrepresent my sweet mother tongue. For the sake of those who love muratina, I'm a mgema!

Vinii has not compared UK with Rao or anyone else for that matter.the real beef is with UK using a word that we of his tribe know to be derogatory depending on the context and how it is used.I also find UK annoying most of the time.To me he is not the kind of leader the youth in kenya need.HE doesnt represent the change we so much desire.

I urge you to do the same.

hi all,

why so much argument, all of you???????

let us just call RAO "Kamundu"

and

UK and President "Imundu" plural for "Kimundu"

and

me "Githee" or "Kimundu" or "Kiigangio"

and let us lay the extremely petty case to rest....

NKT!!!!!
