There is no one who is more Suba in his House than I am. My mother is a Suba from Lianda in Eastern Rusinga while my father’s mother is a Suba from KuoloWaware which is at the centre of Rusinga. Who are the Abasuba? These are people who moved from Uganda and Tanzania due to a variety of factors. The first group called the Abakunta ran away from Uganda following the death of Kabaka Junju. There was a feud between two brothers; Kabaka Junju and Semakokiro. Semakokiro was the rightful heir to the throne, but Junju laid claim to the throne. There was a fight and a man called Kiboe – who was a mason and a fighter – went out and killed Junju.The mistake he did after killing Junju is that he cut off his private parts and brought it back, thinking that Semakokiro would be happy that his brother had been killed and that he now had his private parts. Instead, Semakokiro was livid. There was a plan to kill the people who had killed Junju and the first wave of the Abakunta moved from Uganda at around 1760 and settled in the islands of Lake Victoria. The second group was of fishermen who would go after fish. There was a particular delicacy called Semutundu; I do not know an equivalent in English---"}
