Origin of Kamnara of Sakwa - Version One

-: Now I begin....'there are two versions of the origin of kamnara of sakwa. One says that originally their ancestor was from present vihiga District. The original settler 'nyamwanda', had a sister who got married in sakwa location. Nyamwanda went and lived with his in-laws in sakwa untill he married from there. Nyamwanda had two sons: yendhe and mnara. Yendhe's people are now called wagusu from the name of his son gusu. Mnara had a son called chidha who apparently took after the name of his father by which the kamnara in sakwa are now known today.' - Hezekiah kisia mwingisi...... A second version to follow later.

-: Not three, four, five versions?
It is true one can follow one's sister...but those days, of strong traditions, would you have left home to follow your sister?

-: That's for the kamnara of sakwa only. If you consider saniaga, then we have upto five versions. Kare vandu varutanaa, rivaya.
