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.

You have answered me, I rest my case.

We don't even have an agenda for the meeting. A campaign needs to be started on the main Wall inviting them to the launching of the group and then use the occasion to sell our agenda for the group to those who'll heed our call and then start a serious recruitment drive. We need to come up with the agenda here. We need to act fast.

Lung'afa:. There was this thought and it would not auger well as I came to learn.

One, there are other Saniaga associations. We not less better. Two, we want strategic people to attend, not 'every one'. Three, we not splitting ground, there have before existed saniaga groupings. Importantly, we meeting to find focuse that would see us push saniaga agenda high.

That even if only 19 people came, those registered, it shall still be a good show!

Kibisu Joash: The more people we are the better we define our agenda economically and socially

Evans Muhali: You've answered my question. I rest my case

Lung'afa: As per our capacity, we shall do slow jamms at the moment. In the near future, sava sava!

Lung'afa: Dad Ndanyi has a problem with his phone. But he shall be informed of this discussion come morning.
