Kwani the burials take place in tourist attraction areas? plus, Luos have never changed the way they mourn since time immemorial, so, weren't those tourists "being chased away" there when this mourning was still existent? it is sad that we think the tourists want to come and see us do the things they do in their countries! The main reason they visit different countries and cultures is to learn... they do not have to agree with the culture, but that's the culture and anyone willing to learn will find the visit enriching.... sasa sisi wote tukimourn kama wazungu or whoever our tourist target market is, what will they be coming to experience by visiting our communities.... Am saying this because, from the community i come from, there is nothing different from a boring white burial..... no traditional rituals, nothing interesting. But it is different for marriages esp when there are ceremonies like kurashia and other traditional rituals before weddings... those i love to attend... i can even attend a strangers just to have a good laugh. When am done with the 8-5 job, i'll be a professional gate-crasher to traditional ceremonies wherever i can manage to. The county gaament claimed that the mourners normally jam the city on Thursday and Fridays whole days when bodies are being collected from Russia; then they dance and do "queer" things the whole day in the town center.

Not many people know that exists in Kisumo! The county gaarment is right. The morners are normally very lousy, arrogant, and very abusive. I met them one time on my way to Kisumo City, just after Otong'lo. They literally clear the road with all vehicles and if you are adamant they can even stone your vehicle. Several Motor bikes... even hundreds depending on who is in the casket. From Russia they begin the journey with a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. This is one idea whose time is overdue  "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."
