Some Luhya traditions will be performed on the twins reunited 19 years after birth before they are integrated into one family. A cross section of Luhya elders disclosed in interviews that the rituals are meant to forestall a repeat of what happened in the twins' lineage. He told the Star that Sharon will be treated as a child who got lost and has returned home, hence the rituals. The herbs will thereafter be given to the twins to take or mixed in food the twins will share with the rest of the family to signify the reunion. He said that failure to perform the rituals will result in the curse of a family member getting lost again and may continue on and on.
