Of Ker, Warriors and Wise men

Nyakwar Ochien'g,

Iwuoyo maber to an gi penj ma daher mondo idwoki: KER donge tiende en 'Jagur kat Jachwo Bura' ?
Mar ariyo Joluo machon bende ne gin kod ng'ama iluongo ni KING kaka KABAKA? Donge awuoro ni Joluo ne gin kod AUTOMOUS GOVERNING BODIES WITHIN CLANS? To ere gima rach ka Jo KANO ni gi KER MARGI? JOLUO OLUORO LOCH. JALUO OK NYAL BEDO KI KINGI.

But we governed with Wise Men (Call them JOBILO, JODOLO); WE governed with Council of Elders with a chair (KER); We governed with Warriors. Each clan had this three-leged collective running its affairs.

The Wise Men and Elders needed the Warriors to achieve their offensive and Defensive military goals. The Warrior could not say "Bilo bende Mako Lo?" Awinjo ka iwuoye Luo Unity. That is good. But nyaka in'ge ni LUO sani omadho dhoudi mangeny. Onge ng'ama nyalo wacho ni en pure Luo. So you do not have to prove that you are a thorough-bred. An a ja Kwabwayi, mabende jo mon'geyo wacho ni wan Jomwa. To among modern Luo Warriors, I don't feel any Less a warrior than you. Nyakach, Kamagambo, Kwabwayi are no less warriors than you. Yet, they may not be pure Luos.

o Luo Council (with a KER) remains relevant as it moderates and unifies the activities of the Modern Luo Warriors, chief among whom are Hon Raila and his Parliamnetary Team. But it needs the advice of Members of professional bodies (lawyers who are the modern Wise Men). There is no competition at all if Ogingo is Bwai's Ker; or if Nyalik en Ker Kano.

Bwana Okech, I have been stuggling with whether a LUO Psyche is comfortable with the Unitary KINGSHIP.

I hope you will read my upcoming Novel: The Wise One.
