The 1994 presidential inquiry into the state of devil worship declared students' infatuation with "Jah" references as devil worship.
The Commission of Inquiry chaired by the then Catholic Archbishop Nicodemus Kirima was astonished at the widespread use of the term, popular among Rastafarians, in schools and learning institutions.
The term is deduced from Israelites' ancient reference to God, and appears numerous times in Hebrew Bible. However, in the King James Version, the term Jah appears only once, in Psalms 68:4.
