The struggle with many a rigid Logooli cultural practices

  The Logooli community is one of the deeply cultured societies – with near everything supposed to have been done as per custom – to allow another custom to follow. One example is that for a mature man (with a child or more) to be buried, there must be a house structure at home. Another is that a boy must be circumcised and nursed in father land. If maternal family decides to, the boy will have a hard time reconnecting with father people - a dent on his masculinity. There were two children who got burnt to death in a house in Nairobi. The single mother had left for night work. Elders were told that one of the children was Logooli. The other, the woman had sired with someone else. The Logooli family wanted to burry their little one and long discussed the do’s and don’ts. Of a man who died childless and the grave was placed as if he had died as a man with children. It should have been dug on the sides, the grave. A real thorn should have been thrust in his buttocks, his name go...

Hello, what of subscriptions?

-‬: Treasurer any update on money...we need to renew our subscription  soon

Lung'afa: Hello Alice, allow me to answer you and also the treasurer should speak.

Subscriptions and such payments are good and also not good (in book keeping and keeping members active).

During the last AGM we did agree to Dad Kereda's  proposition that we do not waste energy following people to subscribe and resubscribe. 

That we agreed our activities will be project based. Whereby a project is proposed, Saniagas commit to it and count it done. There and thence. 

That is what we have been practicing of late. 

But the constitution requires registration and subscriptions, something we have to relook at. It was 500 per head for Membership to Saniaga CBO which is renewed yearly and only 5,000/- for life membership of ten years. We have 27 registered members but of this year only 5 renewed membership.  

And it is Dad Ndanyi's (chairperson) proposition that we have each of us paying only 1,000/- (in line with Dad Kereda's view) and we would need no more subscriptions. If you have paid 500/- you only need to add 500/- and you bonafied member. This would come as a by-law to scratch off the constitutional mode of subscriptions. 

- With Thanks

-‬: Thank you brother for the update.Joined recently but have /had no idea what is happening.I asked but never got one to enlighten me. I knew  the project was we promote each other and the on going is buying  T-shirt with saniaga logo. 

Lung'afa: T-shirts move is not a person's project. It is aimed at getting money to capacitate our library at Wangulu.

-‬: Morning everyone. Am happy I have started getting information that I did not  know.  Thank you so much brother.
