Embakasi East Member of Parliament Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino is set to face serious consequences after the Kikuyu Council of Elders in Thika cursed him for allegedly calling President Uhuru Kenyatta a "son of a dog".
The elders slaughtered a pure white lamb and burnt the meat to ashes while reprimanding and cursing the former University of Nairobi Students leader.
After burning the meat, the elders mixed the lamb's blood with milk and honey and other items then poured it on the fire as they performed the traditional ritual.
Addressing the media after the ritual, the Council leaders announced the consequences of the curse will be evident in seven days, seven months or after seven years.
Elder Michael Kinga'e from Nduberi stated that they appeased God with the sacrifice and prayed, facing Mt Kenya, that the Almighty "strikes the 28-year-old MP for his derogatory remarks".
He added that the curse was the first of its kind in the country and the first for a person who does not yield from the community.
"We were angered by the young boy's insults. Even the Bible is clear that parents must be respected as well as leaders who have been anointed to lead.
"Likening the former First Lady to a dog and the President to a puppy has caused us a lot of pain. God will unleash His wrath upon him," he stated.
Chairman Njoroge Karatu on his part explained that "we were born by mothers and every mother or woman who listened to what Owino said, likening them to dogs, must be hurt. This sacrifice will make this country tremble once the curse takes effect."
Karatu explained that the ceremony was meant to serve as a reminder to the youth to respect their elders adding that Babu will only be cleansed if he repents before the council and apologises to Uhuru and former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
Babu Owino was arrested on Monday, slept in the cell for 2 nights after which he was released on Wednesday evening but was re-arrested for past charges of assault.
