While Speaking in Busia, Raila said that those who take the rite of passage seriously are fools.
“Circumcision is only a Kenyan Bantu thing. It is a trivial matter that came with religion. It was introduced in Kenya to the Bantus through religion. Bantus in DRC do not circumcise same as in Cameroon and South Africa. Anyone that takes circumcision seriously is a fool,” Raila said.
He further explained why people from Teso community in Bungoma wanted to separate from the county.
“The Teso said that they don’t want to be in Bungoma County because when the Bukusu are doing the circumcision, they forcefully circumcise the older men from the Teso community,” Raila added.
