President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday invited all Kikuyu musicians to State House for a 'goat-eating' party on Tuesday.
Speaking during the burial ceremony of the fallen Kikuyu secular music icon, Joseph Kamaru, in Muthithi Muranga, Kenyatta said he will use the opportunity to listen to the musicians' needs and problems as a way of honouring Kamaru.
"I am inviting all of you to State House next week on Tuesday so that you can tell me how you would want me to help you. Yes, you just come I will slaughter for you a goat. There is no problem about that," Uhuru said in Kikuyu language.
No sooner had Uhuru made the statement than various social media users went on a frenzy with all manner of things in reaction to Uhuru's invitation of the musicians.
Of particular to note was one post on the 'United States of Kiambu' Facebook group that targeted controversial Kikuyu secular artist, Kimani Wa Turacco.
The user claims that all Kikuyu artistes were invited for the 'goat-eating' ceremony except Wa-Turacco.
Many users who reacted to the post, which of course, is misleading as Uhuru never indicated who should or shouldn't attend, were joyous that Kimani wasn't 'invited'.
Some, however, defended him noting that he always speaks the truth.
The musician who shot to the national limelight after releasing the song 'Hatuna Deni, Kitaeleweka', has been a thorn in the feet of many Deputy President William Ruto's supporters from Central Kenya.
The song simply tells Ruto to forget about Mt Kenya's support come 2022 when he is widely expected to make his maiden bid for the presidency.
According to Wa-Turacco who continues to propagate anti-Ruto sentiments on social media, voters from this region owe him nothing.
A section of politicians from Kiambu led by Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wa condemned the song, arguing that it was sponsored by politicians seeking to cause a rift in the Jubilee party.
