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.

_Onam_ in Luo means, he who is from the Lake/Lakeside.
If it was Luhya, the name would be, *Inyanza*

To stir your imagination, the Jaramogi Odinga Odinga family are not Luo.
And that is why that don't use the Luo names like Odhiambo, Onyango, Atieno etc, none of of the sons or daughters of Mzee Jaramogi bear a typical Luo name.
They are rumored to be Avasaniaga.
Odinga is a Luhya name.

This does not equate to the one people used to pull on us about Moi and _umwana wa Amoi_ ...

However, the Odinga family would never want this information to be in the public domain because of the political ramifications in Luoland.

Umulogoli Achamihanji za, vayanze vasuli.

Simeeda ku ilindi Dave, gahele kumunyi avamusomeye ku hano.
Naambuli umundu nahela ku ichova yila, nangwambakane wahugana 😇
