This Is What Juliani Has To Say About ‘Kikuyus, Luos’ And The Men Who Strip Women In The Streets

Kikuyus and Luos are the largest ethnic communities in Kenya and politically, they are the communities that have been in the forefront in defining the political landscape in Kenya.

However, as ethnic as Kenya is, it has never missed quite a number of challenges that come with this ethnicity.

Instead of Kenyans making use of the diverse cultures and values that we poses, we go on to sideline each other along ethnic boundaries.

This perhaps is the reason singer Juliani has used examples of the Kikuyus and Luos to bash the ethnic stereotyping that Kenyans have mastered so well and that they use to insult each other.

Juliani feels that at this time and age such incidences should not be occurring.

He has specifically taken issue with the manner in which men have faced all manner of ridicule after a section of criminals stripped women in Nairobi and Mombasa.

Juliani wonders why all men should be put into this category, just like Kenyans are used to including a whole community when one member commits a crime or does something appalling.

Juliani is clearly disgusted that ethnic stereotyping and tribalism are still very rife amongst Kenyans, despite efforts made to eradicate them.
