Kumĩra

After eight days in the Kĩganda, the young men graduate. There is a big ceremony of receiving the newly initiated young men by their families. This ceremony is called Kumĩra (literal translation "to come out"). The "graduate" initiates are referred to as Ciumĩri.

The Kumĩra ceremony is attended by all; parents, family members and friends. There is feasting and merry-making to celebrate the great achievement.

During this ceremony, the Ciumĩri are blessed by the Mũgongoni as they leave, and the Mũruithia confers on them a Riika name. A Riika is an age set. The Riika name is usually related to the prevailing "phenomenon" in the country, positive or negative, e.g. big harvests, technology breakthroughs, cultural pronouncements, or catastrophes like disease outbreaks. Examples of recent Riika names in Kenya include SHA Riika, Covid Riika, Madaraka Express Riika and M-Pesa Riika.

At Kumĩra, the young men also vow that they have stopped Wana (childishness), Ũrimũ (stupidity), and Ũhĩĩ (the foolishness of an uncircumcised big boy).
