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.

Participating in efforts to reafforest Maragoli hills

Lung'afa: TOMORROW  we shall be on Maragoli hills on a mission to restore the hills to their natural state.  The event is organized by MAHERI group and I am part of it as an organising secretary. Please plan to attend. 

We shall be on the side of Gilwatsi and the event shall proceed from Chandugunyi Primary School. The road from Gilwatsi that you diverge with to Chandugunyi after a kilometer heads ahead to Inyanza, an area below the hills large inhabited by Saniaga clan.  

On matters reafforestation, we need to step up quickly efforts that would curb more clearing up of land for human settlement and activities. From Maragoli hills to Kerio hills to Cherengani hills all is not well. One can imagine what the picturisque was when our ancestors moved and preferred the places. 

May we all rise to conservativion. If you cannot make time please  drop in your contribution through Mchanga or Paybill Number.  

Thanks.

Ngana Lubanga: What happened to Dave Mwangi. He had a case on that forest. Did he win the case or it just disappeared like that. He was supposed to serve a long jail term then made to pay for the gross impunity

Lung'afa: The matter came up. But like slave trade you cannot blame the buyer. The African chiefs messed us. There was a seller. And the hills are much settled on now...the legal task if followed can take turns and slow up it all

We can do more diplomatically than accusatory. And we opt to get lots of support now...

Ngana Lubanga: Noted and appreciated. Do some good work on the recovery of the forest through planting trees. Are you planting indigenous trees?

Lung'afa: Yes, double canopy. And bamboo to combat the increasing erosion.
