Nyumba na riika, icio nĩ cia Ūgĩkũyũ

Comments:
Comment:The diction in p1 is philosophical and metaphorically suggests that both instutitions are deeply rooted and as such there are no negotiations on whether to belong or not. The postproverbial however, abnegates and denigrates clan as well as age-groups as ancient phenomena that are of no consquence in the comtemporary settings
