Kikuyu Elders have performed a special traditional ritual to pave the way for the cutting of a Mugumo tree that fell on a guest room at Panari hotel in Nyahururu town, Laikipia County. The ritual, conducted by Kiama Kia Ma elders, involved traditional prayers and the slaughter of a sheep and burning of the meat to “appease the gods” before cutting the tree to remove the trunk and branches that damaged a section of the roof top of the building. Muthamaki Dominic Ng'era who is allowed to perform the rituals said that the ceremony is not done by any other person but community elders who are known as 'Athuri a Matura Nguru’, who are older than 80 years. During the ceremony, Muthamaki and other elders who are revered, cut bits of the tree bark nine times around the area where the tree sheds white sap.
