Last week, the cardinal of the Archdiocese of Nairobi sent out a terse communication warning against the ‘Gwata Ndai’ group. According to the Cardinal, this group whose operations seem to be prevalent in Kiambu is akin to a cult and is promoting retrogressive habits such as female genital mutilation.
A few days later, some Kikuyu wazees went to the media to respond to these allegations saying this group aims to promote Kikuyu values and should not be viewed as a dangerous cult.
