THE KOGELO COMMUNITY.

Kogelo is a community within the Luo language group of Kenya. Luos are Nilotic speakers who majorly occupy the shores of Lake Victoria. Luos of Kenya believe that their ancestor was called Ramogi. As the sons of Ramogi were marrying and daughters getting married, internal conflicts started arising. They saw it wise to migrate to other parts of the far land along the lake.

Kogelo community wasn't an exception. They initially occupied Alego in Siaya County. As the norm dictates, they increased in numbers and as a result, internal conflicts started. They accused one another of witches and land conflicts. The community got split as two wings left to occupy other areas.

The first wing walked along the lake and settled in Kanyadhiang'￼ in Karachuonyo constituency. Their sub-wing continued with the journey upto Rinya in Sakwa Migori County. The last wing of Kogelo community occupied the border of Kisii and Luo communities. That is, Oyugis and kodera in Kasipul constituency Kasipul constituency.

This community has produced many heroes including Obama senior, the father to the 44th president of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama Margaret Ogola. 2. The River and the Source The River and the Source
