\"Sukuma Wiki\" or \"Push the Week\" is so called in Kenya because toward the end of the week, when food supplies are low and the next pay day is a few days off, they cook this to \"Push the Week\" and stretch the groceries until they can buy more.
Therefore, no Kenyan family would serve \"Sukuma Wiki\" to guests.
It would be an insult.
