Kaya elders from the Coast region have criticised politicians over what they describe as attempts to interfere with this year's Chenda Chenda celebrations — the annual Mijikenda cultural event held every September 9 to honour community heroes and preserve Mijikenda heritage.

Led by Tsuma Nzai, the elders say this year's preparations have already been divided, with official celebrations set for Kaya Kauma while politicians plan a separate event at Pwani University. The elders are calling on leaders to stay out of the celebrations and let the community observe Chenda Chenda according to its own traditions.

Jumuiya News reports on the growing dispute over Mijikenda cultural heritage and the role of Kaya elders in protecting it.
