About 100 Kikuyu elders gathered in Ndakaini village on Tuesday to place a curse on S.K. Macharia, saying he had betrayed his community.
The elders from across the country performed rituals including slaughtering a single-coloured he-goat and roasting it, during their meeting in Gatanga constituency, Murang'a county.
They muttered curses against the Royal Media Services chairman before piercing the meat with thorns, an indication of the wrath that awaits Macharia.
Kikuyu traditions say this is the worst case scenario for any person and can result in calamities within 90 days from when the curse is placed.
“This is real. It is no joke. We gave him the mandatory 14 days to apologise to the community for exposing them to attacks by other communities especially in this electioneering period,” said Kiarii Rugami wa Chumbuu, who is Murang’a county chairman.
Chumbuu said it was a bad omen for any member of the Kikuyu community to expose his people to enemies, with the intention of causing bloodshed.
“We have sent delegations to him but he has dismissed the call of the community, leaving us no choice but to go ahead with the rituals," he said.
"He has denied ever uttering words that could jeopardise the safety of the Agikuyu community. We curse his business. We curse his generations. He is not lucky if you may ask me. Curses do strike
