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.

Izava Walk : Positioning a grave

Mkizungu, the said second son of Mulogoli begot three main sons- Mwariero, Mdidi and Mkayere. Mkayere begot five sons- Losese, Kaduyu, mulitu and two others. Ishaballa is the gentleman who said these. He was overpowering a strong stunk of what remained when an eucalyptus was cut. He was sweating, looking young in age and I could have walked away.

A step child, whose mother came with is pointed a place to build downfarm. This is whether the step father is pleased in him being around. There were chunks of land to show generosity anyway.

A grave is dug looking straight to the house's main beam by the right hand from the compounds' entrance if it is the owner of the household that died. If the wife, it is dug similarly bug to the left. A girl who died without being married was planted by the fence, probably to keep being on the fence. I take my words back.

Ishaballa is nicknamed Prof Indire - rumoured the first mathematics professor in Maragolis. But it could be due to the love of the cup. Chang'aa is sold in metallic cups as from long ago. After taking some gulps, he seemed to become wise. In his defense, he said that real teaching and tradition is not spread in markets or Churches  but at local drinking joints. Free from bias,  want and need, drinkers share their views and  cling to what need be right.

If an epileptic person, same to a mad one died, the family burried the person mmagomia- behind the homestead. This, Ishaballa knows as right though families have disregarded it.

A woman does not have ruvamba. Ruvamba is a genealogy if badly translated. It is also said that a woman keeps, follows and suffers from no taboos. All she does in breaking the norms is to the doom of the man. For no one will remember a ruined home as a woman's causing.
