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...

What next when WhatsApp Group is full?

Lung'afa: Hello Fam, we are about to hit 257 people, a maximum WhatsApp Group allows. Efforts are being done to see if we can "expand" the number limit of this group. It will be unfortunate if we hit a limit and more of our brothers and sisters are not yet in the house.

To our beloved brothers and sisters joining us, welcome home! The best group in the world and using technology to counter distance and dispersals. We gather here as of one people under one roof. 

Briefly, we have been here since August 2017. So much has already been said and more is to come. It is not late to belong, it shall never be. 

We are structured with several Saniaga groups that meet in areas of location and pursue their interests. Saniaga CBO is what this group initiated first and our first AGM discussed a community library as our main way forward. The Library was well pursued and we look forward for more community libraries in Vihiga County and beyond. With Several Saniaga community libraries we shall not only have opened up our localities to think big but we shall also be on Saniaga adage of championing education and information. 

So far so good with the 2018 AGM sitting having approved SANIAGA SACCO as an economic empowerment forum in the Saniaga circle. The registration and commitment  contributions are ongoing with a General Meeting expected in February/March to lay the ground operations once we are certified. 

We are also concerned about Welfare and issues surrounding our community. These shall be discussed and agreed upon as our main activities get going.  

That is but a brief update to what foot we are on now and as we keep interacting more shall be put across. If there be any questions please call me on 0700186018 or @⁨Fanuel Kidiga Indangasi⁩ or @⁨Baba Ndanyi⁩ . And if you want to know the discussions we have had before please visit saniaga.blogspot.com ...they are well archived. 

May we all keep coming together to raise the Saniaga flag higher. 

Govedi Muzami: When the SACCO picks  up and ideas are operational, the numbers will rise dive. We agreed not to form other groups (Whatsapp). I see us going down the slippery slope. How will we manage information🤷🏿‍♂ for the SACCO? Yaani vosi kove mu Saniaga Family Group alafu vandi kwenya kuzyi further to the SACCO. Food for thought. If the SACCO interested members have a different Whatsapp not Saniaga Group, it does not necessarily mean  that they are detached from the umbilical cord Saniaga Family. The Whatsapp SACCO has filtered information that is relevant to the SACCO and not to be the whole family. Matters of welfare, mariga, harusi, fundraising etc concern all of us as a common denominator that defines us as a Saniaga family. We use this common ground to transcend to the SACCO. In a nut shell we are all Saniaga family and whoever is interested to become a SACCO member at their discretion will do so only if they are members of the Saniaga Family.

Govedi Muzami: Otherwise after sometime kwakazigagila norore avaseve mu SACCO yitu mbagada mba😊

Govedi Muzami: Goni vurahi ifamily yitu. This is just food for thought let's discourse further👏🏿
