The twelve Seers, who entreaty in favour to the community, operate in secrecy to guard their wisdom. Their wisdom outweighs the early Christian gnosis. To conform to the prophetic calling, they renounce all tastes and live ascetic lifestyle Simplicity is a virtue that guides all Mount Kenya Seers. The promulgation that the mountain was the earthly habitation of their mono deity Ngai Murungu manifested the presence of Ngai. It should be noted, in all serious local communities' undertakings that they invoke' the name of Ngai Murungu facing Mount Kenya . From the date the covenant box was placed In Mount Kenya, there are several instances in the said communities history that have been seen as manifestation of supernatural work of Ngai Murungu whenever they humble themselves before him. On arrival of white missionaries, who were operatives of his majesty, this mode of worship was regarded as heretic and the early members of the church were excommunicated. However, there are two notable occasions in our times that Ngai Murungu's hand was seen at work.



In the first occasion, after the arrest and detention of Harry Thuku, the Seers resolved to give their political agitators psychic protection and guidance. The candidacy fell on one Johnstone Kamau in 1928. The Seers ascended Mount Kenya with this simple ordinary village folk. He underwent all essential rituals in the rite of passage and admitted to the Sacerdotal College of Seers. After attaining the status of a seer, Johnstone Kamau was honoured with a star name "Jomo". Jomo is the local name for Hariey's Comet. Like the Comet, Jomo was transformed very fast - from a simple village folk with apprenticeship in carpentry to direct entry to the London School of Economics under the tutorage of Prof Malinowski, a highly acclaimed 20th Century anthropologist. Jomo's academic genius was revealed in his serious work " Facing Mount Kenya ". This is the man who brought the British Empire crumbling down to its knees www.yamumbi.com
