-: These figures are not true. Maragolis are more. I will try to get the health demographic figures. Sidika

-: I suppose these are Maragoli resident in Vihiga.

It is skewed as it does not consider Bungoma, Lugari, Migori, Kangemi, Malindi, Mombasa and other urban centres.

I have even found Maragolis I Nyandarua who went there over 60 years ago.

-: And I am just from meeting a Saniaga elder who confirmed the going... 1940's. Him, he came back. 😄. 

As for the statistics above, naaa. We can do better.

-: Wow!

And supposedly about a quarter  of the population in Kiambu are Luhyas too.

Our people went there to work in the shambas I colonial times.

The children they sired are considered Kikuyu.

If the Luhya put their foot down in Kenya ...

-: What has made me dig deep is my wonder as to why others always want Luhyas splintered and confused.

-: I highly doubt these figures;the Maragoli population is much higher than this. Someone forgot that it spreads across the Western region from Vihiga, Nandi, Kakamega,  Bungoma, Kitale Uasin Gishu, Mount Elgon and into Uganda; then add those in Migori...
