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 the Welfare Team, the need.

Jane Bwonya: Tumi amang'ana yengo ku vasenge vamuhenzere avakana valahi vataveye avaseve.

Baba Ndanyi: Avakana avalahi avaveeye nisang'aari, uhul'laa Patrick??! 😎😎

Lung'afa: 🙈🙈🙈🙈. Mbul'laa

Jane Bwonya: Avakana avalahi ni miima; ligondo dave. Anoho ovoraa Ihuoma mu Elechi Amadi's The Concubine?

Evans Muhali: Vasaniaga, milembe mwosi... I'm relatively new here and the first thing I heard being discussed was ivane for bereaved members. I have a proposal to make regarding us having a Benevolent fund that we can fall back to whenever a member is bereaved. I'm proposing that we come up with a welfare wing of this group and that each member raises 10k to be deposited in an account and the money to be used whenever a member is bereaved instead of waiting for donations. My proposal is as follows. The treasurer buys a New Mpesa/ Airtel money line specially for the collections. We give ourselves,say, ten months for each member to deposit 10k into the account. For those who can raise the total amount, please do, but for those who can't,they can pay 1k every month for the ten months in order for all of us to raise 10k. A bank account to be opened for this money then we agree for example that if a member looses a relative,and in this case we should define which relatives qualify for a member to be assisted, we donate 1k each for quick disbursement to the bereaved family and then each member is informed and immediately returns the 1k to the account so that we at all times have 10k each in the account. If all members agree, I think this is a faster way of assisting members in emergency situations. My suggestion.

Lung'afa: Evans, a beautiful idea. We have not responded well to the few cases we have heard of bereavement. And the Welfare Team goes beyond beyond  incidences of funeral. We got saniaga elders who are poor, no food and clothes, kids in school...And such. So we need a super Welfare Team.

Last time we called for a volunteer to head the Team. Would you please head it? Then during AGM members may see to what best?

Thanks
