Heavy responsibilities for elder aunt among the Logooli

With Seenge Fonesi. She is the elder grand daughter of Isagi and elder daughter of Amugasya. She is often present in functions involving the family of Amugasya. Pic taken on 18/4/2024. The elder sister soon becomes the elder aunt. It is this “seenge munene” (elder aunt) tag that she is tied to many cultural responsibilities – back home. To her marital family she may appear as any other woman, but she is not so in the eyes of her people. Marriage does not steal her away as it would happen with other daughters of the old man. To her, as days go and the old man and woman of the estate are dependents, she becomes increasingly present.  Her brothers also need her for almost all traditional markings. They are marrying, she needs to welcome the new wife. They are giving birth, she needs to come to midwife or “bless” the new born. They are paying dowry she needs to lead the women delegate. There is a conflict she needs to come for a hearing.  And many others. Traditions does not expect her to

Lung'afa: @⁨Fanuel Igunza⁩, umesikia?

Fanuel Igunza: ☝for Saniaga Sacco initiative.
Mambo ingine wekeni kando.

Baba Ndanyi: Good morning family I  am glad many of us are responding well to the Saniaga Sacco and I hope many more will come on board soonest; but I would like us to go a notch higher, I will make our contributions (my family and I) by end of next week, I will make contributions equivalent to one year's deposits @ 200 per month; my appeal to you is that plan to give to the Sacco an equivalent of one year's deposits @ 200 per month, by end of this year so that when we launch the Sacco during our AGM we can hand over the Sacco when it's healthy, I would appeal to as many of us to join and pay up, the Sacco is one of the avenues of empowering our people economically, God bless you all.

Lung'afa: Yes Papa. That means we are contributing Ksh (200×12) = 2400 per person by Dec. 

But then, that is small a money for one year! If we stuck to 500 per month per person, it would be (500×12) = 6000. Now that would be a deal. A real deal. Come AGM we will have something to talk about. Because we can. 

Then again, will we have to backpay? That we start paying as from January 2018? So that by the end of this month all of us need to have committed about (500×8) = 4000? Yes we should. A good point of start, it will be! 

Family, let us make hay today, won't we?

Kibisu Joash: 500 may be a tall order for other people but if the majority goes by the proposal then I support it 100%.

Lung'afa: Yes. Let members decide.

Baba Ndanyi: @⁨Lung'afa⁩ 
For this year and because we have only few months to end the year, let our debt with the Sacco be 2400 + 200 membership, from January 2019 we have to raise to 500 per month, and also those who will join after Dec this year, will have to register with 500, we are in the grace period now.

Lung'afa: Agreed dad. Let it be so.
