A Brief History of Time

The following history is based on the creation of Rachuonyo District and how Kakelo Location came about, as told to me by my Assistant Chief.

A man named Rachuonyo fathered a son named Sipul. Sipul had two sons named: 1) Omala, whom subsequently created Kabondo Division of Rachuonyo District, and 2) Owindi, whom created Kasipul Division, which is where present-day Kakelo Location is. Owindi had three sons: 1) Okoth, 2) Anyango, and 3) Okal. Okoth himself had three sons: 1) Ndaya, 2) Ojwach (later to have six sons), and 3) Ogudi (later to have 18 sons).
Ndaya initially had no children by his first wife, so he later remarried a woman who was pregnant and bore a son named Okwanyo (now his first and bastard child). His wife later conceived and bore him a second son by the name of Onuonga. Ndaya was very rich because he had no children and was therefore envied by his brothers Ojwach and Ogudi for being the first born.
Ojwach bore six sons and later inherited Ndaya's wife named Onjaro. Ogudi had many wives with 18 sons but the family disbanded when most of the wives died or divorced. The two brothers later sent away Onuonga's (Ndaya's son) mother, and the community started to abuse them for what they had done. The brothers suffered much abomination. Ojwach later told his brothers to help get back the wife, but Ogudi refused since he took all the riches (cattle). Ojwach initiated a marriage by paying one cow for Onuonga to marry a wife called Atinda.
Ojwach sent his six sons to go and take cattle from where Ojudis' cattle were grazing to pay dowry for Atinda. While they were taking the cattle Ogudi also sent his 18 sons to get back the cattle and a battle broke out. Ogudi fell and broke his limbs. He told his sons to leave the cattle to pay the dowry and uttered the words “A divine revenge” for what he had done.
Atinda had four sons: 1) Danga (married Muga), 2) Odera, 3) Otieno, and 4) Onyango. Onyango had two sons: 1) Basa, and 2) Magak. Basa later married four wives: 1) Mbul, 2) Akelo, 3) Atieno, and 4) Othiur. He later inherited Dianga's wife, Muga, whom he took on as a fifth wife. Because his first wife Mbui had no good relationship with people and Akelo was a very kind woman, Onyango's father blessed Akelo and he took Akelo and Muga and built their house into one home.
Akelo had three sons: 1) Muma, 2) Okiro (who later inherited Nyongach), and 3) Miroth. Muma had two wives: 1) Ayoo, and 2) Nyongach. Ayoo had two sons with Muma: 1) Onger, and 2) Otieno. Onger had two wives: 1) Ochola, and 2) Mwalo. Otieno inherited Onger's wives and bore five sons.
Oyieko married Amolo and she bore him five sons: 1) Ochola, 2) Muma, 3) Awino, 4) Okiro (had only one son: Nyachuma), and 5) Onger (had eight sons but died). Awino married two wives: 1) Ajwang, and 2) Obonyo Nyocko.
Muma, who is Akelo's first son now makes Kakelo Dudi sub-location and Okiro and Miroch, second and third sons, consequently makes Kamroth sub-location. The name Kakelo Dudi is born from Akelo and the hill Dudi, and comprises of two Mwalo (Onger's second wife) and Amolo (Oyieko's wife).
