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.

Saniaga Welfare Chavakali - Another active group in the circle.

-: I found out today of another active Saniaga group called Saniaga Welfare, same name with Saniaga Welfare in Busali. But they are registered at Sabatia with social services unlike the Busali registered with the office of AG. 

It at first had over 200 members but because of inactiveness, the group has less than 50 committed members that the secretary thinks is a good number to keep things running 'in the age.'

Members are of Chavakali and environs. Chaired by Amugune, secretarised by King's Sagala. Senior Surveyor Adaka is an active member. They have Merry go rounds of Ksh 400 a sitting, pay shares of Ksh 50 per sitting, pay Welfare Ksh 20 per sitting and table snacks Ksh 50. Meetings are monthly. 

We now have 9 active Saniaga groups in our database.  

There is another Saniaga group at Shamakhokho that Sheila Idala is a member to. When I meet them I will share and add them to our circle. 

If there be any other group - cause there are- that we are not aware of, please let us know and familiarize ourselves accordingly. 

With Thanks

-: We also have another group of saniaga girls who are married in tiriki land with more than 50 members. I will link you up
