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.

Apologies (or No Apologies)

Dr Sidika: Good evening all. Thank you for the minutes and to those who made it to the AGM. I kindly suggest that apologies column be added to the minutes and we should have also indicated in the Agenda a projects minute. So that each project is discussed and new ideas and new projects captured as well, 

2)Developed committees for the projects. I was hoping to hear about the Yoghurt project as discussed previously and I do agree that if you merge, you will develop faster. Umoja ni nguvu!!! Sidika

Lung'afa: Hello Dr. Sidika

We included a special apology by the AOB for you because the one who carried it spoke to close the meeting. 

Modern minutes however prefer not to include Apology section. It would be too much a number in our case. So many of us sent apologies. 

The Saniaga Yoghurt (milk) project could not be discussed at AGM because it would first need the committee to ensure the SACCO has satisfactorily met the requirements of operation. The Yoghurt proposal (or any other enterprising idea) shall come immediately we are in operation. 

And this being our OFFICIAL forum of communication, we shall be discussing all these together and on time so that we do not tarry. Not being at AGM does not mean what was not discussed is passed.

- With Thanks
