Thiga ni muruu: marara nja gutiri
Literal translation: 'Thiga' is circumcissed: there is no reward in passing the night in the courtyard.
Contextual note: 'Thiga' means a certain fellowThe proverb originates in one of the many customs relating to the Kikuyu ceremony of circumcissionOn the eve of the circumcission day women and girls gather at the hut of the candidate and sing for a great part in the night; not gratuitously, but in the hope of getting food and beer from the candidates motherBut if when the rite is completed, she makes as an excuse that now the child is circumcissed and refuses to give them what they expect, they start singing the above strain, meaning: 'Have no recourse to the idle pretext that your son is now circumcissed; but rather give us the reward to which we are entitled after a night's singing and dancing'.
English equivalent: Eaten bread is soon forgotten.

Rt.Rev. Bishop Jacob N. Muiruri
In light of global precautions for the COVID-19 Coronavirus, and to ensure we are adhering to the direction of our leading health and government authorities, effective immediately, Bishop and Elders of Blessed Christian Church International have decided to cancel our normal Sunday services, this isn't a matter of fear on our part, but a desire to be socially responsible. We do have elderly, and people of all ages who have health issues among us, that make them particularly vulnerable. We need to be conscious of their needs as well as those who are at very little risk. We will continue serving God through platforms that God has provided to us
