The Kamnara of Sakwa are making ground to build for future generations

Greetings from the Kamnara of Sakwa! The Kamnara people of Sakwa on 27th December 2024 gathered at Village Park, Ajigo (near Bondo). Hosted by Kwaka Joseph, they hearkened to the consultative forum call, arriving in good numbers and early enough for a successful day. The gathering was chaired by Mr. Nying’ro James Onyango, a former (retired) assistant commissioner of Police. The introductions were excellent. The genealogies were mentioned in reverence, lengthy ones applauded. And courtesy of Enos Oyaya’s book, “Kamnara my people”, anyone who would need help had the documentation. Oyaya had launched the Kamnara book on 30th December 2022 at his home in Kamnara Mwalo, an event that gathered Vakamnara from far and wide. “What can we do that the generations to come will benefit from?” This was the clarion Mr. Kwaka Joseph called on all to fashion their minds to. And issues were raised in the fields of Education, health, agriculture, enterprise, politics and more that the swift dholuo would...

THIS IS DISHONESTY.....


You started by snoozing the alarm early in the morning to add some minutes on the comfortable bed. The morning looked outrageous  and the new day could have waited a little longer. You did not smile that you were able to see a new morning. You did not wonder at the misery of the rising sun after you saw it set. Whether you are a believer or not, you failed to thank the force behind the new sun.

The first person to meet was not worth to be greeted. It was not necessary. Were it in your power, you could have abolished greetings along time ago. Greeting  means to say 'PRESENT' to God. God was not in your mind for all you were doing is to hurry up to class/job.

Your wardrobe has that 'loud' clothing that you decided to pick for the day. It is not because you could find it easy at the place you would long in the day but you thought how it would make you get noticed. If it does not reveal the heavy chest, then it should reveal the soft hinds. You know that the grooming is not cardinal but you had to because people should mind their business. There you stepped out in a hurry, maybe forgetting a much needed item latter in the day.

Boredom set in too early at the workplace. Therefore, all you could do was shambles in a great hurry to do away with this and that. The phone did not see the table and stuck to the hand. Everywhere you went you had your charger and plugged in as soon as you saw a socket. The best discussion you had was to talk of the past rumors and funny happenings. You were ready to exchange words and curse anyone who could term you lazy.

There came the evening and you had some more issues to attend to. Before you realizes that you had procrastinated yesterday's job, you are thinking of saving some work for tomorrow. An excuse was ready when you were asked to hand in the task.

leaving early enough aimed at saving fare and having time at home for personal matters. Was there a need to leave work to save on a few coins when the snacks could have been replaced by a better simple meal? Fortunately, there was no jam and there you sat in the house comfortably saying how busy the day was!

The day came and now it is ending.. There was no improvement! You did not touch a life. There is someone in your life that you hate, maybe at school or workplace. As you start getting dizzy for another day, you have nothing to feel happy of, but a few rational and dishonest words for your diary....
