TBT ceasefire

In January 1955, the Colonial government declared a two-week ceasefire and sent planes over the forest to sky-shout and drop leaflets offering an amnesty if the Mau Mau surrendered.

Murunguru, I would say it’s ’ One’s drive to succeed '.

God is Murungu, NOT Murunguru.

The literal meanings are as follows:

Njeterera - “Wait for me” eg Njeterera njikire nguo (Wait for me I dress up)

Ndikinyaga - “I never reach” eg Ndikinyaga Kamae, nginyaga Frae (I never reach Kamae, I reach Frae)

Murunguru - " has germinated/has budded "eg Muti uria ndirahandire ni murunguru (The tree I planted has budded)

Utuhaga na Ime - “The one that gallops in the dew” eg Kamau atuhaga na ime (Kamau gallops in the dew)

So you mean this was a veiled threat, yaani wakikataa kusarenda watakipata.
Didn’t know Greek was this hard

unless hii yako ngabu ni gi-kabete

it says

Ngoja ngoja haifiki
A mongoose plays in the dew i.e it does not wait for the dew to dry…
surrender now

in other words
do not delay any more, make your decision early and surrender now…

You are wrong. You are talking of “kuringura”. Murunguru must be a noun or related.
Na btw nginyaga frae, ndikinyaga kamae.
