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.

Breaking Monotony

The moon is breaking Monotony too. It is not shining here - because no one gives it an eye?  Maybe. It does not shine in new places just as I do not showcase my ego there.

I left to Huruma for my friend Odhiambo. His mother welcomed the son of soil with three sweet salutes. ..karibu karibu...karibu. This is in preparation for the weekend activities. Keep posted.

We searched the skies at midnight with Odhiambo. Only a presumed bright clouds identified the moon. It is getting later and later in its rise as it ages. Will I get sleep in olden days?

After a bedbugs goodnight warning,  I was pretty sure that I may blame the creatures on insomnia. But they will find me prepared- no time on bed. He promised to wake up in the night and keep security out. Security because this is Huruma and somebody may snatch the camera in the flash. Two because the danchi tall housing here does not provide a more than acute angle sky diameter.

And at three,  with a pinch of a few bedbugs - oh I hate- he escorts me out and the satellite is absent. Breaking Monotony?  He does not know where East is from Huruma- the building. It may be the opposite direction of watch! It is not their problem but mine.

And so, in breaking Monotony there may no be goodness. But what an experience it can bring!

Thank you.
