Kit-Mikayi — Attraction in East Seme ward

A great tourists attraction within Kombewa, Kisumu County, along Kisumu-Bondo Road. When you alight within the site, you'll find the local residents to be welcoming and friendly beyond your imagination. Before visiting the site, you'll be required to visit the guides always available within the site's guide office (Information Office) next to the entrance in which you'll have to pay at least Ksh.500 or more. This fee is paid for the support of the site and the residential people guiding, welcoming visitors and protecting the site. The site is considered to be sacred and also the pilgrimage of the Legion Maria. Within the site, you'll see the pictures and the symbolism of Simeo Ondeto, the founder of Legion Maria. Prayers and dances are being conducted within the place. I think they do this to appease the the spirits of the founders (dead). KIT MIKAYI literally means - The Stone Of The First Lady (In which KIT(Kidi) means Stone and Mikayi means The First Lady married to a man.

Existence of Kit Mikayi 'Kit Mikayi' as it is called is an unusual stone formation in Kisumu County. The name is a Luo dialect meaning 'The Stone of the First Wife'. It is located along Kisumu- Bondo highway roughly 30km from Kisumu CBD.

Long ago, there was an old man called Ngeso who was in love with the stone. He could wake up early in the morning and walk into the cave that was made by the stone.

He stayed there for long and this forced his wife to bring him breakfast and lunch each and every single day he went there.

Ngeso could go to the cave every day and when his fellow elders come seeking for him at his home, the wife could tell them he has gone to visit his first wife 'Mikayi' hence the name 'Kit Mikayi'. This meant that the stone was Ngeso's first wife.

The structure in which the stone is arranged reflects the cultural polygamous nature of the Luo community. 'Mikayi' the first wife's house is in the middle and the largest, on its left-hand side lies the third wife's house 'Reru'. On the right-hand side of the homestead lies the second wife's 'Nyachira' house.

The stone also reflects a nuclear family evident in the Luo community whereby the father who is Ngeso being the middle stone followed by first wife (Mikayi), then the second wife (Nyachira) and then third wife (Reru). At the furthest end lies the first son, who represents 'Simba' the House of the firstborn boy in the homestead.
