NABONGO MAKOKHA MUMIA

He was the son of Nabongo Shiundu, he was born after his mother ( Queen Wamanya) had several miscarriages. According to the Wanga culture, a child born under such circumstances was to be thrown by the roadside and someone was to pick him up. This was done so as to chase away the spirits of death. Such a child was named Makokha. He was named Mumia because it is an iteso woman that picked him on the roadside. In the old days, luhyas called the iteso Bamia. Mumia was born in 1849.

He was a skinny boy who looked weak. Later he did the unthinkable by first killing a lion and later a leopard. He took over the leadership of the Wanga Kingdom in 1888.

His reign witnessed great expansion of the Wanga Kingdom and he also cemented an alliance with the Maasai and the British.

Before his death, Nabongo Shiundu had prophecised about the coming of the white men and advised the Wanga people not to resist them. This informed Nabongo Mumia's choice of collaboration rather than resisting the British.

He also chose collaboration so as to wage war effectively against some sections of the Nandi, the Bukusu and Luos of Kager clan who threatened the integrity of his kingdom. Through collaborating, he got guns and a contingent of Baganda, Nubian and maasai warriors through which he conquered his enemies.

He died in 1949 and was burried in Mumias. He was given a state funeral by the colonial regime. Later, his remains were transferred to Eshiembekho in Matungu constituency, Kakamega county. The remains are hosted at the Nabongo Cultural centre.

His son Nabongo Sh*tawa succeeded him and ruled until his death in 1974. The current king of the Wanga Kingdom is Nabongo Peter Mumia Sh*tawa, the grandson of Nabongo Mumia.

HISTORY OF THE MARACHI COMMUNITY CHAPTER (1)

The Marachi are one of 24 sub tribes of the Luhya people of Kenya. Nestled between the Samia, Khayo and Wanga, the Marachi occupy a land area comparatively smaller than the other Luhya tribes in Busia District. In their native Luhya language, the people of Marachi are known as Abamarachi, their land Bumarachi or Ebumarachi and their dialect Lumarachi. Marachi land is divided into East, West, Central, and North Marachi locations.

Significant town in Marachi is Butula and Bumala. Marachi land has several villages namely; Elukongo, Emauko, Siribo, Bumala "A", Bumala "B", Esikoma, Simuli, Bulwani, Matsanza, Bumakhudu, Bwaliro, Lunyiko, Siamakondi, Emakwara, Mafubu, Kalalani, Tingolo, Bumutiru, Ibanda, Buyayi, Sirandala, Nyapera, Masenjekho, Butunyi, Igula, Burinda, Bujumba, Kingandole, Khunyangu, Buhuyi, Bukhalalire, Busiada, Bumagunda, Namusala, Enakaywa, Madola, Khareka, Mung’ambwa, Bulemia, Emagombe, Emalomba, Lugulu, Bukuyudi Elara, Sibembe, Bukhwaku, Bumina, Echengo, Siroba, Khulunyu, Dadira, Namwitsula, Busire, Buriya, Busibula, Masebula, Isongo, Nango, Bulindo.

There clans included Ababere, Abafofoyo, Abamuchama, Abatula, Abamurono, Abang’ayo, Ababule, Abamulembo, Abatelia, Abapwati, Abasumia, Abarano, Abasimalwa, Abakwera, Abamutu, Abamalele, Abakolwe, Ababonwe, Abamucheka, Abaliba, Ababirang’u,Abakolwe, Abade, Abasubo.

Abamarachi are a conglomeration of the above-mentioned clans who were under the leadership of Ng’ono Mwami in pre-colonial days. The name Marachi is derived from Ng’ono Mwami’s father, who was called Marachi, son of Musebe, the son of Sirikwa. So, all the Marachi clans owed their allegiance to Ng’ono Mwami, from whose lineage of Ababere clan they were founded. The name Marachi was given further impetus by the war-like lifestyle of the descendants of Ng’ono, who ruthlessly fought off the Luo expansion of the Jok Omollo, a Nilotic group that sought to control the Nzoia and Sio Rivers in the area.
