Women, Leave My Kitambi Alone

Since time in memorial it has always been given the utmost respect it deserves. However, the new crop of women has gone against the teachings of their grandmothers. Respectable men in the society own it, Baba owns it, Ouru is building his and I too have one. That leaves me with the question that has been bothering me, who are you to speak against my kitambi

For a long time now I have silently watched women hurl all manner of insults on us men with bellies. Do you know the amount of time and money it takes to build it? It is not something that you wake up and pick on your way to work; we work for it and we are proud of it! A Kitambi is not something that you see in your normal route 44 matatu. This is something special chauffeured around many times in a German machine. Respect it!
