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.

The MOON


I took the picture yesterday night. The moon was clear and could not be hidded in the cirrus. Unlike what I have written a poem about before (the crescent thing) , the grown moon is showing some more power and energy- like it is enjoying the best of its youthood. I wished the street lights that light the backyard went off to enjoy the natural healing shine.

I am afraid that the moon may leave for a while. If not today, tomorrow. But I would want it around for a little longer. And in my mind I remember the book I read five years ago; Ezeulu waiting for the sign. Today I woke up for it. The failure to find it in a given bookshop could not stop me. I have the book now! Exam revisions will have to wait alittle longer till minutes to the exam.

I am not sure whether it is full for I can sense hoarseness down on its edge. It was hard to identify a half moon and I am pretty sure it is hard to notice the change in size- just as it is difficult to see the sun changing position at Zeninth.

I am ready for the moon today night. Please be there for me dear moon.
