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).

The gathering was chaired by Mr. Nying’ro James Onyango, a former (retired) assistant commissioner of Police. The introductions were excellent.

Any different suggestion please?!

Kibisu Joash: My thought too.

Baba Kereda: Well said dad ndanyi

George Indiazi: I do concur that we have 3 entities. You can count on my vote.  Indiazi wa Kakamega Town.

Kibisu Joash: Now that we have approved that the status quo is to be maintained then is up to us as individual members to up our shares in the sacco
