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.

For Inclusivity, we shall work under Organs

Fanuel Saniaga: Hapo pa meetings...now that we are scattered all over the country...itakuwaje?

And largely, here (WhatsApp) is a 'meeting' forum too!

Fanuel Saniaga: Ok...i get it...

Atsiaya Cousin: I think I need to applaud the great minds in the drafting of the constitution. It is a step in the journey that exudes the group's seriousness. Am down for it.

Kibisu Joash: This is anew outfit of the old tree that did not bore fruit to the satisfaction of the members. We are here to learn why it didn't thrive. That's why people are registering right now. Since the start of this drive its around one month. So this group it's a month old.

Kibisu Joash: Our parents were unable to excel due to communication. Making phonecalls was a luxury. Now we have the communication gadgets to enhance our agendas.

Lung'afa: But our grandfathers walked miles to reach saniaga homes. Excuses started with our fathers
