American Catholic Missionary William Charles Fryda is now a member of the Agikuyu community under the Anjiru clan that descends from the community’s eldest daughter.

Fryda will now be known as Kiarie, son of Waweru after he was on Saturday inducted into the community in a traditional ceremony held in Gilgil, Nakuru County.
