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.

Saniaga as mwana wu Mukana - Kavogoi

Another version to the above, as Onamu from Gambogi said, is that Saniaga ni nyumba yu mukana. These, elders refuse. But hango hagosaaku mwana wumkana kweri?

Kavogoi, Murogori's daughter, was married Embo. She had been taken as she had gone Mukisumiru. There she had given birth to children (number?), before her husband decided to marry another wife. Imbarika. It is said she 'refused'.

Some important knowing is that all Murogori outcasts -epileptic, mad, etc - were given to Luos for free. They go marry there. Even those who feared circumcision. Kivi kizie Embo.

We do not say Kavogoi was 'mad', but then, a woman was a woman. Sit, relax, sire, age, die, a process she went through. But she thought of her father, brothers, home...and ran back with kids. The man is said to have been Jakamnara.

'Murogori', seeing 'Kavogoi' back and children with her, he was least disturbed. There was land and it was better the grandchildren lived Evorogori than Embo. Well, the sons, as they grew followed maternal uncless -Ivusari, Ivukizungu, Imavi and Ivukirima - for land. And having grown as orphans, they grew to love one another and were so passionate to be meeting and looking at one another's welfare.

- This version does not explain the Saniaks. Could Saniaks be a name coincidence? Research!

- Have a researching Day, won't you?
