Nyina wa Arthur, mutumia ngatha; I have known you since I was a little child in the 70s when mzee Benard died. I have admired you as you have taken care of your vast family despite the tragedies that have befallen you, I last saw you in London in the 90s and you were still the kind and motherly matriarch you have always been. It is well known that you ensure anyone connected to you either by marriage or otherwise stands firm with your help and guidance. Koma thayu maitu witu mutumia wa Mothers’ union.
