After researching for long I have discovered why some people from Vihiga behave like Musalia or my friend Counsel Akusala. In the Luhya tradition when a person dies in Nairobi and their body is brought to Kakamega you must give the driver of the hearse chicken to throw on the way back to Nairobi. This is to throw away the spirit of the dead person from the vehicle. Most drivers throw these chicken along Chavakali-Majengo road in Vihiga County. These chicken stroll into the homes of greedy villagers who slaughter and eat them. What they are in essence eating are spirits of dead people.So if the deceased was notoriously polygamous the person who eats the chicken becomes that way and if the deceased was a thief the chicken eater becomes a thief.
