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.

WHEN THE MISSIONARY ARRIVES

The group leader rushes
To take his bag
And lead him in

Participants stand
Breaking from a social talk
To show respect
To the entering luggage.

He greets the women around
Wondering where men went to
Knowing not
They most attend important meetings.

He sits by the window
Praying for more Oxygen
For he knows the face of the air inside
Is that of the faces around.

From their gazes
He reads tiredness
Yet he would still want to say it in a different way
What other Organizations have spoken to them
Before giving out the bread.

Half a century past independence
He thinks not of a reason
Why these very people
Will  get out of poverty.

He is a missionary
From Europe
And he loves his job
Working with the vulnerable

He knows they are sick
Lazy and pretentious
Beggars and barterers
 Yet benefactors from cardinal sources.

And he never learns
With such simple thoughts
That there are a people
That would better be desperate
Than be fortunate.
