[Oe List ...] In Kenya, One Solution to Contaminated Water Comes From Above

[Richard Alton]

Yes, Kawangware is a lot of Kikuyus with Somalians and other tribes
sprinkled in. I have a hard time believing that 250,000 people in Kibera
are all Luos. There are Luo communities in Nairobi but are small. But I was
there, what 1980 to 1986, and things could have changed a lot, although I
visited Kawangware in 2023.
