Mutura is a delicacy that is loved by many. Men and women flock joints that specialize in its making. It is a short cut to those who cannot afford meat in these hard times.
However, this business might collapse after residents cast doubt on the source of its ingredients. Whenever you visit Manyani estate, you will meet monkeys having a good time with people.
The creatures are the reason behind the estate naming.
They visit homes and dine without formal invitation. Residents have been complaining about these visitors from Lake Nakuru National Park for decades. Mr. Shiundu has had to live with this menace for five years.
"Our estate is the best place to live if this issue is sorted out by Kenya Wildlife Service," he said.
However, unscrupulous businessmen have taken advantage of the free gift according to some residents. As the notorious monkey visit homes, they are trapped for preparation in the evening.
Those who fancy liquor consume as much as they can outside entertainment venues. Others eat out of an internal craving while some use it as a companion to ugali in the evening.
As you line up for a share of Mutura in Manyani, think twice, you might be munching a healthy monkey.
