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.

Let us form a serious CBO.

I sometimes look among my friends to see the one whom I can entrust in everything. A guy in that matter because too much contact with a lady may breed another thing- I am not a stone. I find none. Each one is chasing own goals and vanity. I wish I found a mate- like David and Jonathan. The one whom I could loan out my possessions because I know he is a real friend. I wish to get a twin brother. I am lonely. Does my lifestyle make me so? But that is not the gist.

If you are a member of a serious group then you are lucky. How many heads make a serious group? Of course it is not the people- it is money- and how it betters their lives. How much does your group have?  That is the extent of the group’s sustainability. Somebody will speak of the vision, objectives and blablabla. That is good. You are very much theoretical.

I desist from the tradition that groups should be guided by one big man- the chairperson. But when members are rained-on goats, what should you do? There are instances when things go bad in a group. I want minds that can bear pressure, internal insults and still call for a step ahead. I want people who will be guardians.

Today I picked forms at the Ministry of Labour, Social Services and Gender sub-branch on requirements of a CBO. I have questions as to what people should we include. Should friends just add up the number? Should we reach for ‘busy’ people? Should I do what? I don’t want to sound the initiator. Initiator to what?

The course is simple. If we could have a culture of passionate readers, diary keepers and writers, we can create an avenue for increased knowledge sharing hence desist from shallow rumours and pick on sustainable information that enhances good lives. Of course readers are industrial people! Avenues to engage in are stationeries, book stores, mentorships on the same, and a resource centre among other related avenues. If you ever dream greatness, I am ready to join you.
