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.

The Adaka

With Elisha Kivunira at Munugi village
Adaka is said to have been wi L'luma, from Chavakali, in or around the secondary school. His son, Kivunira migrated to Hamadira, Chagema to Mbale and Mugoyia at Idavaga, who later went to Nandi.

Kivunira begot Luvai with Kangu, muDidi. He bogot Jacob Migoze too at Chavakali, 'ivumasingira'. And one time when zisigi had come, Migoze climbed a tree in the evening to shake them down. He is said to have fallen and died. Musara gwamuruminda.

Chagema begot Akivaga only. Akivaga begot 8. They are found at Mbale, just behind the primary school.

From Mugoyia you will hear of Fanuel Mbohe.

Luvai of Kivunira would die early (early 40's) only leaving a son called Elisha Kivunira and a girl, Lena. One Saniaga from Lusui, wiIdambiza (Harun wa Ingasera) went to Hamadira to 'take care.' He would then have 9 children, Elisha's siblings. The muRogovo woman, Reba Endesia, in her wisdom, sold cattle to buy land at Munugi where she would settle with Harun. But Harun was a mover, sold a share and took off to Nandi.

Migoze, the one who later fell from the tree, would not come to 'take care' because of the church. It disallowed such associations among its members.
.....

Settling ivuKirima as Saniaga settled with other Maragori clans, it was a matter of providing women for one another. For instance, vaGamuguywa vaKirima, with their 5 or so subclans, would not intermarry. vaNgomba would not intermarry with vaRugiri for example. Saniaga women were the choice for them, those who married around. With majority of the homes having Saniaga women. And Saniaga men marrying from them.
