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.

Why people do not 'give'.

I was added to a Whatsap group of a friend the other day. He had lost his mother through cancer -RIP. And he had added all his contacts to the group with intention that they 'contribute'. He called the group, Friends of X. X is his name. And everyday he begs. The contribution list is of a few, he keeps sharing it, that I winder whether those who contributed are cooked names...people, the world has people.

So I feel him. Those who comment say that the home is really needy. It is the same as a friend on Facebook who started posting that, 'My marriage is on rocks', help me God. Pray for me people!' And it later was, 'she has miscarried,' before he went, 'people please help, help, help.' All the time he ends posts with his phone number. Recently he thanked the area pastor for sending him something. All that on his online page.

People do not give simply because it is not their concern. Stand up to your problems. And when you look like choreographing means to have them give they just 'look aside'.

We also have a Whatsap group. All members belong by identity. All they have ever done is that only a tenth committed to registration. A tenth. The rest have their business. They do not want you to meddle. They therefore do not give because they simply don't want to. No reason why.

And there are those who give in their own ways. That when you assume they do not give they have a rich history of giving. Unless you walk with them, listen, observe, you would never know. And that is why they don't give -as you expect.
