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. And issues were raised in the fields of Education, health, agriculture, enterprise, politics and more that the swift dholuo would...

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.
